HE hit not one, but two game winning shots in the playoffs last year. At age 22, LeBron has 15 playoff wins...I think at that age, Bird and Jordan had a total of zero combined.
Why bother with facts when making things up is so much better!!!

I would say he did say it.
What about you?

a very unfair comparison....Bird was 23 in his rookie year. The Celtics finished that 79-80 season 61-21, which was first in the Atlantic Division. The PREVIOUS season before Bird's rookie season....29-53 and 5th in the Atlantic Division.
Don't bring age into this...Bird a much greater impact on his team his rookie year than Lebron did.
