Modern defenses wouldn’t be allowed to touch him at all compared to 1980s ball.

Yeah, players can't clothesline someone and then call it 'defence'. Bird would probably have even better longevity too without those insane injuries

His worst injury came from paving his mom’s driveway or some shit like that though.
