The strongest part of Bird's defense was the fact that he was always thinking and seeing 2-3 passes ahead of everyone else on the floor. No one ever saw the game unfold better on both ends of the floor than Bird.
Oh God. another myth. The celtics (and the NBA for that matter) let him play a one man zone. He was too slow to cover his man one on one. They put him on the player that could hurt them the least and let him rover.
