No, he only won 2 rings. He didn't do enough. And truthfully, he doesn't deserve one in Cleveland either, cuz he won even less there. LeBron doesn't deserve any statues, this isn't Magic or Kobe or Jordan or Wilt. Bron isn't respected on that level. He put in work on these teams, but not like that.
Evolution. Draymond is 2 years younger than Bird was when he retired and took about only 300 more attempts to pass him. And this is as a guy teams dare to shoot the 3ball in this era who's not known as a sniper, which is impressive. The 80's and 90's guys were great for their era but over time the nostalgia goggles made them seem bigger than what they really were and are. The millennials weren't afraid of surpassing them.
I guess this explains why Golden State traded him so quickly 
On paper, things should have worked for the Warriors quite well. Webber, Hardaway, and Latrell Sprewell were all budding stars, and Mullin was one of the most consistent scorers in the league. But C-Webb and Nelson didn't get along, and things went downhill fast.
Tim tore his ACL before the season even started, and Chris and Don disagreed with how the star big man should be utilized. Hardaway believes that had he been around the team more, he could have convinced Webber to buy into Nelson's program before things went south.
"We signed him, I go down with an ACL," Tim said on Forgotten Seasons. "Him and Don Nelson bumped heads, and I was never around because I was trying to get myself together, and Nelly was like, 'Yo, you need to start coming around. Chris Webber, he'll probably listen to you.' But at that particular time, it was too late."
"Chris Webber was like, 'Look, I'm not gonna be listening to him. I'm just gonna do my own thing.' But what Don Nelson was trying to help Chris Webber realize is that you could be that type of ballplayer right now that you was in Sacramento. You can handle the ball, you can be point forward, you can start the offense, we could get you at the elbow, you could pass, we want to use your strengths, and that's what Nelly saw; he saw his strengths as a rookie," Hardaway added.
"He didn't like that; he wanted to get the ball down low, back people in, and do other things, but Don Nelson saw his strengths, what he could do like he was doing in Sacramento early…If I was there, I could have settled Chris Webber and made him understand, 'Look, this how we want you to play, this how we need you to play if all of us is gonna be successful,'" he concluded.

Could get 20 out of him...smh
Nigga in 8th ain't getting it.
His team beat the Celtics in prime time. But he posting 5 year old LeBron memes since Dray showed us how overrated a shooter Bird was. Nuggets not repeating.
MHC, at this point memes only highlight the dummies that share them. That's why posting them don't hit like they did 10 years ago.

Unless you were born in the 50's, 60's and 70's, you can't make less than 700 threes in a career and be considered one of the greatest shooters ever. Only these old mofos get graded on a curve. Black people so slave minded, they spent the last 3 decades over hyping the last white American superstar because they felt guilty about whites being pushed out the game. Now dark skin dudes who nobody covers when they shoot 3s done lapped the white boy and now they can't overrate Bird as a shooter no more. Buddy Hield a better sniper than Bird was.
