You are characterizing Lebron as some sort of pretty boy when i dont think that is the case. Remember, he isnt a big. He is a smalll forward. The reason bird was underneath the basket so much is because he was too slow to guard the other team's three so most of the time he would draw the 4.

But im sure you knew that.

Partially correct imo.
But Bird was an exceptional rebounder with no hops
because his technique was exquisite. He blocked out
at very good angles, used his strength when necessary,
and played dirty. And balls did not go bouncing off his hands.
If a quick rebound came down because of bairly glancing the
rim, Bird snagged it. His reaction time was... bizarre it was so good.

No doubt. Bird was all of those things. He was an amazing player for sure.
