Better over the backboard shot: Avery Bradley or Larry Bird?
A 1986 preseason game vs the Rockets in Hartford:
I honestly can't decide which was more impressive. While Bird clearly had the tougher angle, Bradley was already in mid-air and on his way down when he put up the shot. On the other hand Avery's looks more like a prayer, while Larry seemed as if he knew exactly what he was doing the whole time. At gunpoint I guess I'd give Bradley a 9.9 and Bird a 10.
