LeBron would smash Bird. But both couldn't even come close to Jordan.
Strength wise yes but there is more to basketball than strength or dunking. Bird was slow and had a weak vertical, yet he averaged more rebounds than LeBron and assists. Birds era was different as well. LeBron has wide open lanes to the hole. That never happened back in the day.

Players like Jordan, LeBron, AI would dominate in any era. Bird's rebounding had more to do with his knowledge on where to position himself. Just like Rodman you don't need to be athletic to rebound. Just tenacity and knowledge of where to position yourself.

Yeah but Bird could shoot. That in itself would allow him to dominate in today's era, especially with the touch fouls called.
