When it comes to all-time NBA greatness, everyone has their own perspective on the argument. That debate, it seems, isn't just limited to fans. If we take Larry Bird<\/a> at his word, even the guys in the Association can get into it from time to time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Take, for example, the 1992 Olympics. With a team of NBA stars (and Christian Laettner) in Barcelona, there was bound to be some trash talk flying back and forth. And, as Larry Legend tells it, one night, he, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, and Ahmad Rashad got to talking<\/a> about the title of basketball GOAT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While you might not expect any of those men to back down, Bird and Johnson knew when they'd been beaten. Apparently, they acknowledged that Jordan was better than them ... but only some of the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThere are various versions of the conversation, but Larry Bird remembers admitting that Michael Jordan was sometimes better than him <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
