OFF TOPIC: Larry L: Bird, McHale, and Parish (the Big 3) made up the finest front-line in NBA history, imo. Bird is considered by many the best small forward of all-time, and McHale one of the best post-up players and 6th-man of all-time (although he did start in certain times in his career). The '86 Celtic team also had a healthy Bill Walton. Talk about a front line. That team would have kicked Jordan's Bulls teams of today (of course, Jordan would be averaging 40ppg in the series)!!! joey (who misses the Celtic glory years)

Larry, OTOTOT, Re: "I thought McHale was the power forward and Bird was the "3" or small forward." You would have thought that, but Bird was considered the power forward even though he is six feet nine and McHale is six eleven. Bird always got more rebounds than McHale, for one, but I know that's not the indicator of PF at all. In the NBA all star games, Bird was typically the starting PF, even though "white men can't jump." Whatever, both Bird and McHale were extremely versatile, could post up, shoot from the outside or drive the lane. Either could have been called PF or small forward. The Celtics will rise again. Always have. Tony
