    Guess Paul Pierce did not invent the step back after all.

    Giving him a five is easily the best part of that move

    Yeah, but not smoking in the locker room at halftime would be a big downer for him.

    This style, what Bird does, is manipulating the game somehow. Almost like cheating it somehow.

    That was not a stepback - more like a a step.

    And man, anyone wondering why they needed to use slow mo? They move so slow back then you need to speed it up on replays. I'm like, hey I got stuff to do ya know - speed it up!

    Are we all supposed to act like getting a ****-ton of unassisted dunks is unimpressive? I've been seeing this sentiment around here lately.
