High praise but this makes a lot of sense. Bird was lethal while making it look easy. The NFL equivalent of fade-away threes...no-look passes for easy layups... The game just seems to be slower for some people - the great ones.

Watching Packers QB Aaron Rodgers lead his team in the first half against the Eagles, I was trying to think of who he reminds me of.

Aaron Rodgers reminds me of my good friend and rival Larry Bird. Aaron & Larry have similar qualities.

Both Aaron and Larry are great leaders, both are competitive & most importantly make their teammates better, all while making it look easy!

So the highest compliment I can give Aaron Rodgers, the best QB in the NFL, is to compare him to 3x NBA Champion Larry Bird!
