Bird got rookie of the year, 3 MVP's, many all-star appearances, 2 3 pt.
shootouts, and 3 rings......

When Antoine entered the draft is irrelevant to the argument (it was his
choice to enter early).......Bird was better as a rookie......We'll have
to wait and see how many rings 'Toine brings to Boston to see who's
better.......
