Larry Legend, if it weren't for the back injury who knows how many more championships he would've got. Top 5 all time player.

[krazychris]

Totally broke my heart when he had to play with a back brace on but you know like legendary coach Pat Riley said if I had to count on somebody to take the game winning shot It would be Michael Jordan if I had to count on somebody to take the shot to save my life it would be Larry Bird

THIS IS THE REASON WHY I CAN'T BELIEVE A JOKE LIKE LEBRICK IS BETTER THAN BIRD

[mcgo]

The GOAT! Ppl who really knows bball would agree.

I'll never forget when Magic said that Larry Bird has only lied to him once. He said he lied when he told Magic Johnson that there would be another Larry Bird. Magic was definitely right there hasn't been and will not be another Larry Bird.

In typical media fashion the woman reporter butchers the number one moment failing to mention that bird called that three point shot before he took it. Doc Rivers also documented the story
