That is a good question. Tough one too. I can't give either. I think the two of them made one of the best rivalries for that era. I think they were the best at their positions, but who was better? damn good question.

Magic has HIV

HIV = FTL

So, in conclusion, Magic is for the loss.

I think Majic made his teammates better. Bird had good people around him too. Back in those days, almost every team had a half decent Center. Kareem stood out above them all, but everyone else was really roll players that stepped it up because of Majic.

Ok as much as I would love to say Majic, because I cannot stand the Boston Celtics, I cannot. And I am sure none of you guys actually saw any of the games they played back in the 80's so your basis is pretty much on articles and highlights. Bird was good, yeah his name sucks but the man could play and then some.
