Larry Bird and LeBron James are quite possibly two of the best in NBA history to have played the small-forward position. Each brought his own unique skill-set to the game and the pair will always be remembered as some of the greatest competitors to ever hit the hardwood.
At the moment I believe Larry has a slight edge over LeBron for the number one spot. However, James is now entering his 14th NBA season and has yet to show any signs of slowing down in the next few years. Bird only totaled 13 NBA seasons, including two that were cut short due to injury.
