Speaking of superstars in NBA history, Larry Bird is definitely on the list. The late NBA superstar Kobe Bryant once put larry bird in the best team in his history. For larry bird, many people think that his physical talent is average, but what you are going to talk about tonight is likely to subvert some people's views on larry bird and his talent. In fact, Larry Bird's physical talent is not ordinary, but very high! Larry bird has no talent? This is probably the biggest misunderstanding in NBA history! To understand him again, to understand a person's physical talent, we must first understand his student days, especially before high school, because players at that time didn't have much professional training and often played by talent. On the other hand, larry bird is young and famous. Senior two missed a lot of training and games because of an ankle fracture, which led to high school 19 wins and 2 losses. But the information at that time was far less developed than in the new century, otherwise his physical talent was more important than basketball IQ.

This is a long-standing debate. Some people think that physical talent is more important because such players can run faster, jump higher and play better. Some people think that basketball IQ is more important, because such players play smarter, and it is easier to find loopholes in the opponent's defensive end and understand the coach's tactics on the court. Which is more important? Perhaps through the following players, we will have an intuitive comparison. Good players are more important than talent? Yao Ming accidentally entered the NBA, and Bird couldn't run fast or jump high. As an idol of Yao Ming, Sabonis chose to enter the NBA and join the Blazers in the season of 1995- 1996. At that time, Sabonis's legs and knees had been completely destroyed, and his unpleasant mobility became slower and his jumping ability was closer to zero.

The most vivid description is that he drove a tractor into F 1, but what did this old player like an unearthed cultural relic do on the court? He can use his excellent experience to defend Olajuwon in a very awkward position. He can launch a fast break with a precise long pass after rebounding. He can shake his opponent with fake actions and use the time difference to complete the attack. He knows how to win the basketball game better than any other player. Watching him play is like watching a game of chess. He can always use his excellent players to get his opponents into his own rhythm. The sensation of that year was absolutely no less than that of James. Larry bird became the scoring champion in his high school history. His last game on behalf of the high school team attracted more than 4000 fans to watch, which was unique in the high school basketball game that year.

If a player does not have absolute talent, can he achieve such achievements and influence in high school? After entering the university, some autistic larry bird dropped out of school twice because he couldn't accept the noisy life on the university campus and even spent a year doing odd jobs. During this period, the head coach of Indiana State University paid close attention to him and kept in touch with him, hoping that he could play for the Indiana State University team that had never participated in the NCAA knockout. If Larry Bird doesn't have absolute talent, will a good college coach regard him as the savior?
