I believe the quote went something like, "I've always thought Larry Bird was overrated. I mean, Bird was a great scorer, don't get me wrong. But Paul Pierce is the total package."
Any chance ABC/ESPN will stop shilling so hard for this series and regain a modicum of editorial integrity? Newsflash: this is NOT the 80s Lakers vs. the 80s Celtics. It's a piss-poor facsimile of the original, and the sooner you guys realize it the better.
