Who would you rather have in their prime: Larry Bird or LeBron James?

Michael Felger and Tony Massarotti discuss who they would rather have in their prime

Miami Heat superstar LeBron James and Celtics legend Larry Bird have very similar career statistics at this point.

Michael Felger and Tony Massarotti discussed which player they would rather have in their prime.

"I admit it's with my heart, I'm taking Bird." said Massarotti."But, ask me again in a few years and I may reevaluate that.  LeBron's getting close to a point where we got to stop with the' yeah, but's."The guy is ridiculous right now. If he wins this series [against the Spurs], then you are looking at a situation where you start to creep him into truly elite company."

"I'm Bird, with my head." said Felger. "I hated Bird, so I have no heart in this. I couldn't stand the guy . . . Bird was a freaking assassin."
