Honestly im not really sure at all,if anything they were even.

Magic had great floor vision and was a great leader and an amazing passer and handler.

Larry on the other hand was just a killer with his killer instinct,shooting ability and has an underrated all around game.


Im on the same page as Darko where im not sure who is better but i will say this. Compared to Magic, Bird is underrated.

I agree that Bird is little under-rated to Magic because he wasn't flashy player compared to Magic but i think that they are equally good

Magic is better then Bird but is a tough one.He is leading the NBA in To per game in Playoffs because he was the best assistman then and every PG when attemps some long pass or just pass someone can cut the ball.That's why he led the NBA in TO per game in Playoff.

Well,he was the ball handler...he often turnovered the ball because the passes that he attempted to succed were very difficult because not only it was confused the defenders but it was hard to steal it because his passes were accurate

Earvin...Larry Magic....Bird Twisted Evil


You cannot actually compare them.They were both great triple double threats in their own way and like Nick/Ryan said it's like comparing 2 different A+ tests
