Could Larry Bird Beat LeBron?

In yet another thoroughly unconstructive and unprovable exercise in off-season boredom, here's former Indiana Pacer great Reggie Miller on the Dan Patrick show being asked who would beat whom, Larry Bird or LeBron James?

Bobh,
Seriously, on a Celtics forum
Beside that how can you compare "3 quarters " and "I came to win"

Reggie had to ask, "what rules, today's rules?" I don't think it makes any difference.

I also think the question ended up being "Who would you pick first in the draft" after Reggie asked about team mates.

What nonsense! Who cares? It's all about the team, not hypothetical mano a mano contests. Okay, here's a hypothetical query: Could Larry's teams have beaten Reggie's teams? I rest my case.

I'm getting a little disappointed in the comments on this forum.

Not one person has made the obvious and expected statement...

"Larry's in his 50's! LeBron by 2."

I think we need to be a bit more realistic here.. Larry recently admitted he was now 40 lbs over his playing weight.. given his age and back issues LeBron by 3...
