Larry Bird is one of the most notable basketball players in NBA history.
The Boston Celtics legend is not involved much in the media, so fans rarely hear his thoughts about the current stars.
Last year, Bird did an interview with Reggie Miller and Isiah Thomas (via the NBA on TNT).
As part of the interview, Bird spoke about Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James.
Bird: “I tell people quit whining about LeBron. Enjoy him while he’s here. He’s unbelievable. He’s one of the greatest, if not the greatest ever.”
A lot of fans on social media commented on his quote.
James has also shown his love for Bird in the past.
James just finished up his 22nd NBA season (and seventh playing for the Lakers).
At 40, he still remains among the best 20 players in the league.
