Jordan vs. Bird: The Greatest Game of H.O.R.S.E!
October 9, 2008 – Dr. Dime
Michael Jordan is the greatest NBA basketball player to ever live, and in many folks eyes Larry Bird isn’t that far behind him. So who would win in a game of H.O.R.S.E.? Actually first-off does being a great NBA basketball player necessarily translate into creative and innovative basketball competitions like H.O.R.S.E., American 21, or Around the World? The answer is ‘not necessarily’, as we saw this summer when Lebron James, one of the NBA’s best players, was taken to school in a game of H.O.R.S.E by a recreational player in front of 100’s of adoring fans.
Here is the video proof:
So what about that game of H.O.R.S.E between “Larry Legend” and “Air Jordan”? We may never know the true champion of such a fun match-up, but McDonalds did their best some years back to help ignite our imaginations……they may have went a tad far though. A little past reality. Still fun to watch though so check it out:
Jordan is a 100 times better player than Bird. But if they took dunking out of the mix like they say in the ad. I think bird would have a legitimate shot to beat MJ in a game of HORSE cause Bird was one of teh best and making wonky shots during games. I’m sure he could just start lighting up weird super long distance shots or something. hahah
