Larry Bird is weighing into the whole Kobe Bryant vs. LeBron James debate. Kind of. Actually, his nuance is kind of refreshing, even if he appears to prefer hypothetically suiting up with Bryant over James. In an interview with Bill Simmons of Grantland, Bird spoke of the perks of playing with either two former MVPs:

"Well, probably Kobe, because of the fact that ... well, of course he wouldn't have been shooting as much as he does now ... but his desire to win, his dedication, to always get better, uh, and he's just, he's just tough," Bird said. "He's just a tough cat.

"But, if you want to have fun, like I did with Bill Walton, play with LeBron. It would have probably been more fun to play with LeBron, but if you want to win and win and win, it's Kobe. Not that LeBron's not a winner, just that [Kobe's] mindset is to go into every practice, every game, to get better."

Larry's right. Kobe is absolutely insane when it comes to competitive drive. And, if you'll allow for the easy joke, he'd probably be the only NBA player to ever hold Larry Bird below 20 points on average, mainly because Kobe would be shooting so dang much (to use a Bird-ism). Of course, James played a full month of basketball after Bryant's Lakers were swept out of the playoffs last year, so let's not go too over the top with the part about Kobe always being a sure winner. At least James' Heat took two games from Dallas.
 
"The Blazers actually traded 6 scrubs for this guy?!!"
 
Pippen: "Uh, Larry . . . if you don't get that hand off my leg soon you will be only half the passer you used to be."
 
"No, Scotty - I really think you're uglier."
 
"The naughty hick from French Lick"

"And this is where Ainge hit Oden with the pipe"
 
"We were called the two ugliest players when we played, but that Columbia River water made you age better."

"I'll give you the name of my denturist, but I'd like my teeth back now."

"Gilligan, how many times have I told you not to wear the Yacht Club blazer next to me." "But Skipper, Maryanne's wearing your underwear while hers is drying on the clothesline." (blowing a fuse) "Listen, little buddy! You better not be wearing her bra down where I think you're wearing it! You gotta find some other way to stay warm when I get out of the hammock!"
 
"Scottie....... why the long face?"
 
"That's funny I thought I just heard you ask if you could borrow 10 million dollars."
 
"Lesson not just karate only. Lesson for whole life. Whole life have a balance. Everything be better. Understand?"
 
Larry to Scottie, "You're telling me that you would have won a ring without Michael?"
