On May 25, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued. Doncic led the Mavericks to the Western Conference Finals this season and was named to the All-NBA First Team for five consecutive years. The American media threw out the comparison of Bird's and Doncic's abilities, including Parsons, who believed that Doncic was stronger than Bird.

Doncic had a breakthrough this season as he led the Mavericks to the Western Conference Finals, where they currently lead the Timberwolves 1-0 in the overall score. Coupled with Doncic's recent selection to the All-Star First Team again, he has received a lot of praise. In this regard, on the Run It Back show, the host raised a topic to compare the abilities of Bird and Doncic.

In response, former NBA player Parsons said: "I think Doncic is better than Larry Bird at his peak. Bird has just more accolades, but in everything he does on the court, Doncic can do better. ”

At this time, the host said: "Bird is a top five or top ten player of all time. ”

But the host was interrupted by Louis Williams: "That's the glory of the whole Celtics. Doncic is completely a star of the same level as Bird. Bird has better teammates around him, he has McHale, Parish, Dennis Johnson, and he can get more support than Doncic. When Doncic's career is over, he will also have a lot of honors, and I don't think honors should be a criterion for comparing the strength of the two. ”

It is worth mentioning that Paul Pierce also mentioned the contrast between the two in another show. "I think Doncic is forging his own path," he said. But we're talking about one of the top 5 or 10 players of all time, Bird. Can Doncic make it there? Bird was a three-time MVP, he changed the game, he showed us a different kind of basketball. Doncic is now more like James from Europe because of the way he scores, the way he passes, the way he rebounds, the way he controls the game — a less athletic James. ”

It should be noted that Bird has always been known as the greatest white player in NBA history, he has won three NBA championships, won three regular season MVP awards, was selected to the All-NBA First Team nine times, was selected 12 times All-Star, and he is the last player in the NBA to achieve MVP three times in a row. Doncic has yet to win an MVP or championship in his career.
