if the celtics had larry bird instead of pierce would we win it all?

Yep. Love the Captain, but Larry was on a different level.
If we had Pierce from his physical prime right now we'd also be favorites imo, not as big as if we had Larry though.
I prefer the current Pierce to the Pierce of his physical prime.  Can physical prime Paul keep current Paul's brain?
Paul was a smart player then too, he just had a different coach and less talent around him.

I'd much rather have Pierce from 2005-2006 even if you assume he'd have the same issues. It'd make us a top 5 offensive team.

They would be a contender. Prime Larry was the man.

What if it was a miniature Larry? Would the Pacers still win?

Yes, without a doubt in my mind. Prime Larry is as good as Prime Jordan.
 

Larry Bird is my all-time favorite ball player, but I'm pretty sure Jordan's prime was greater than that of Larry's. I'm loath to admit it, but I don't think they stack up.

Prime to Prime I think they do but Larry's Prime and career were shorter than Jordan's.

Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

"Luke got the best of him at college..." Ummm, Luke who?

Larry Bird would have given championships to any team he played for. I mean, he took ISU to the finals against some big time college basketball programs.
