Basketball Hall of Famer Dominique Wilkins has sharp criticism about ESPN analyst JJ Redick's comments about Larry Bird's 3-point shooting when compared to contemporary players like Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry.
The NBA trade deadline brought major moves around the league, and major shifts for futures bets. Tony Anderson, Jeff Zillgitt and Prince Grimes give their predictions on who can win it all this year.The NBA All-Star Game is a wrap and the final quarter of the regular season is set to tip off Thursday but some things never change.
Reigniting a debate about the Old-School versus New School, former Atlanta Hawks legend and Hall of Fame forward Dominique Wilkins took ESPN analyst JJ Redick to task over comments about Larry Bird's three-point shooting when compared to contemporary players like Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry.
Bird is widely considered to be one of the best all-around shooters in NBA history, a point Redick did not dispute, but challenged Bird's merits beyond the arc on the issue of volume.During a Feb. 15 episode of"First Take," Redick and Chris Russo were comparing Bird's numbers to Curry's. "It's just math," Redick said."It's attempts, it's makes and it's percentage. And there's no way you could ever argue Larry Bird is a top three-point shooter of all-time. You can't make that argument. He's one of the best shooters ever.
"There's plenty of people that have shot more, made more and — guess what — made more at a higher percentage than Larry Bird from three. I'm not saying Larry Bird is not one of the greatest shooters ever. He's not one of the greatest three-point shooters ever. You cannot make that argument."
