yeah, everyone has to be careful how they say stuff about race/religion/etc. Too bad, somehow.
I challenge anyone to name a white player he played against that would have been the best guard against him. Bird was commenting on what actually happened: sub par white players guarding him. For the situation to happen (to even give him something to comment about) says to me that others (coaches) were making decisions according to race. If they weren't, he would have been guarded by the best player.
Ironic that for him to respond to that situation (even after all this time), he will get tarred and feathered.
