Boston Celtic Legend Larry Bird is certainly an iconic player in NBA history. Playing at the best possible level in the 80’s, Bird powered Boston team to the 3 NBA championships and won 2 Finals MVP in that run. While the matchup is quite impossible, Nick Gelso asked for the players to choose between Kevin Durant and Larry Bird to play as a starter in a team. He gave stats comparisons between two star players for some reference.

But the “Fun” didn’t go well with Kevin himself, as he slammed Nick Gelso with a furious Tweet of his own and blasted “Attention seeker” Nick Gelso and his team.

Both the players are no doubt very impactful for their respective franchises. Both star forwards are capable of carrying their teams in adverse situations. Bird, having won 3 NBA championships in 5 finals appearances has more experience than KD – who still have long career ahead of him. Kevin Durant blasted the attempt to make “selections” and labeled it as “attention seeking” attempt.

Talking about the individual accolades for either of these two stars, both are winners of Rookie of the year award. Larry has won 3 NBA championships in 5 Finals appearances, while Durant has 2 rings in 4 attempts. The 2-time Finals MVP players are certainly very intriguing picks for any team, with their efficient ball handling and shooting. Some might even consider dropping Center position and  use KD and Bird in the superteam.

Statistically, both players do look very exciting to be picked in any team of mostly any era, but considering the change of rules and opponents of the time, it will be difficult to pick either one of them based on their scoring prowess.
