Larry Bird Wins N B A Exec Of The Year


Recommended Posts

He should have been given the franchise here....instead of Johnson.

No doubt. Hindsight is 20/20 but the NBA made a "PR" move with giving the chance to Johnson. Wow. That worked out well for everyone involved.

Top to bottom, Larry Bird is the best player/person to ever be affiliated with the NBA.

Well Hatter is white isnt he? And the only people Ive seen yearn for Bird as an OWNER were white. Only ones I seen characterize Bob getting the team as a PR move were local whites likike MrTD. Where are the hordes of blacks who feel like you guys feel, holding that 8 year grudge? Why is it one demographic?

IIRC, the NBA didn't think the financial backing for Larry's goup was as strong as Bob Johnson's.

It is unfortunate that the NBA couldn't have convinced the two groups to join forces though.

Who in their right mind would be opposed to having a winner like Larry Bird associated with the franchise?

It is not unreasonable to believe that Larry Bird's abilities as player, coach and president would have had a significant positive impact on this organization.

Anyone that likes a winner, likes Larry Bird.

Pacers have a lot of talent. I like what he has done with that team and they could easily shock a lot of people and beat the Heat.

They're balling hard now, looking good. I think they can get past the heat, not sure if they can go all the way.

    • If you look at almost all Daniels stats, they are as good or better than last year minus perhaps Completion Percentage. I don't think Daniels himself is having very much less individual success than the Redskins are reverting to the mean.  https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46003861/nfl-teams-likely-decline-lose-more-games-2025-season-predictions-vikings-chiefs-commanders-lions-colts#wsh Barnwell wrote about them in the preseason as a team that had an inordinate amount of luck or success in one score games that wasn't very likely to be repeated.
    • We thinking of the same Mike White? He probably won’t even make it off the practice squad.
    • I would heavily push back on the notion of Tomlin and Cowher inheriting "collapsed teams." From 1980 to 1991(prior to Cowher and after their Super Bowl victories) the Steelers experienced just 4 sub .500 seasons. In fact the winning percentage for those years was 0.505. At most that was relatively mediocre, something fairly akin to the pre-Tepper Panthers. From Cowher through Tomlin(1992 to Present) it has been the NFL's best franchise. 22 playoff appearances, 4 Super Bowl Appearances, 2 Titles, 15 times winning the division. In fact they have only experienced 3 sub .500 records in that 34 season span.  That isn't ever a scenario where rebuilding happens. It's constant and consistent retooling so that your franchise floor is always high. It's smart business decisions, exceptional drafting and quality personnel moves that create a situation where that floor STAYS high.  It was precisely BECAUSE we opted to go through a complete teardown and "rebuild" without any of that competence being in the organization at all that led us to where we are currently. A situation that will more than likely continue for well over a decade longer.  Long term successful franchises do not "rebuild." They are in a constant state of competent flux that sustains them through some leaner periods without ripping the foundation completely out that led to that success in the first place.
