That's not really what Steat said. At some point he said Luke's shooting stroke reminded him of Bird. He got some good-natured ish about it. Now he refers to Luke as Bird. It's all in good fun.
The only 2 things Luke and Bird have in common is they're both white and both hustle. A better comparison for Maye would be a calm version of HansbroughThat's not really what Steat said.

Agreee, Steat says a lot of moronic things. A lot, such as saying Duke doesn't do anything without a senior big man, not even sure what that means, but as was pointed out by WWJD, it was clearly a joke.While obviously there's no real comparison between Maye and Bird, the comparison is more light humor than anything else.
Big Luke hustles his ass off and really improved last year as a player. The shot against Kentucky cemented his legacy forever. It'll be interesting to see how he does this year as our only real experienced big man.
A poster (Steat) on THR has stated multiple times that Luke Maye is "the second coming of the legend" (Larry Bird). Hahhahaha
Luke Maye has the level of competence that enables 'im to contribute on a team full of much better players. Fine. I can see why unx fans love 'im. Not hard to exceed expectations when there were none. Doesn't change the reality. Celebrate his accomplishments but never forget who he is. He's a luxury on a squad loaded with upper-classmen...highly-rated upper-classmen outta high shool too. Roy's recruiting , as of now , is nowhere NEAR what he's used to. Ask 'im ( or some of these unx'ers ) if they want FIVE Luke Mayes out there every game. If he becomes a "go-to" guy? Well , I ain't that lucky.
Everybody has fingers crossed about the front line. Most of those low-ranked new kids look promising in one or more aspects of their game, but the big question is "when will they show up"? Next year could be a hard slog, or a pleasant surprise.Luke Maye has the level of competence that enables 'im to contribute on a team full of much better players. Fine.

That's his challenge this year. Some think he will be up to it, some are less sanguine.He was in the PERFECT situation last year to blossom- virtually hidden and forgotten as a viable option among Berry, Jackson, and UNC's physical and imposing bigs. That "Bird will never fly," when he has to be a serious "go-to" guy. OFC

As for Luke, I'm with you here and am interested to see how he does when he's more of a focal point of defensive schemes rather than just an after thought. Kid clearly works hard and has made the most of his abilities.

lol yeah it's a just a running gag. No one should read into it that much.
However, I wouldn't underestimate him either. I think his work ethic alone ensures he will be a valuable contributor.
I am sure Coach K is taking copious notes...

You know what's good for him??? 82-50!! THATS what!!Good for him?
Good for him?
He started out being serious about Luke being Bird but even the fools at THR started laughing at him and he then started joking about it.You know, in all seriousness, that a good part of Steat believes Luke is going to be as good as Larry Bird. The clown is that naive.....
Do they have a flavor that looks like Powder Bule?! If so I need to stay away from it!Sounds like too much tarhole koolade to me....OFC
So Luke & Theo are their go to guys this season? I feel good about that.

Had UNC not managed to land Cam Johnson, they would be competing for a NIT title this year.
Bingo.Let's wait until the Holes do actually stink before we go predicting how they will do. We all know about expectations. I want them to be as bad as the rest of you, but until that does happen, I expect them to be solid. They have a good point guard, Johnson appears to be a solid wing, possibly a talented freshman in Felton, and some unknown young bigs. It could go either way for them, but if at least one of the freshmen bigs is productive, they will be a top 15-20 team.

Amen brother!Sorry I refuse to play nice. The very personal and derogatory things they say about our school AND PARTICULARLY our coach doesnt permit to cut em any slack....I dont blame K one iota for saying "I would never have dinner in Chapel Hill."
