Who takes the shot if your life is on the line: Larry Bird or JJ Redick?

While there may be no actual executioner there to do the deed if they guess wrong, it certainly put a different spin on an old debate.

It seems to be a personal pastime of former NBA player and current host of the “Old Man and the Three” podcast JJ Redick to get himself embroiled in conversations about the basketball abilities of past stars in the league.

Though the latest furor involving Boston Celtics Hall of Fame forward Larry Bird and his 3-point shooting abilities has died down, others ensure it continues to simmer on the back burner.

The host of the eponymous “Dan LeBatard Show” recently had his guests debate whether they would prefer Larry Legend or Mr. Redick to take the 3-point shot if their lives were on the line.

While there may be no actual executioner there to do the deed if they guess wrong, it certainly put a different spin on an increasingly tired sort of question in terms of crapping on our NBA elders.

Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what they had to say about who they would prefer to take the shot.
