If Larry Bird had the athleticism of Shawn Marion, would he be better than most players now and before?

Question

i used marion... not kobe and lebron... because they're overused and of course if i use them... you would immediately say that he'll pawn everyone... which is a biased claim

Answer 1

He would not be larry bird, he would be a really great shaw marion

Answer 2

definitely.  He would then also be able to dunk more with authority.  I've only seen two dunks of him in historical highlight reels

Answer 3

of course.

even w/o marion's athleticism, he was already one of the best of all time.

Answer 4

Great question!

Yup, definitely!  

Answer 5

for sure

Answer 6

yes. he was already a threat from down town. just think what he could do with that talent. not just a shooter,but scorer and slasher. maybe a solid defender. able to guard any player like shawn. the passing lanes would be wide open. assist leader? or top 10.

Answer 7

He would have been the greatest basketball player ever...
