Larry Bird

Aside from being the 1980 NBA Rookie of the Year, earning three consecutive MVP awards, winning three NBA championships and an Olympic gold medal during 12 All-Star seasons, Larry Bird didn’t accomplish very much. The very definition of “Celtic Pride,” Larry Legend was one of the most dominant superstars of any sport in the 1980s, winning games and leading teams to titles with deadly shooting, passionate leadership, the nerve to tell you about the shot he was going to hit and the cold-blooded talent to nail it every time. From French Lick to Boston to Barcelona and back, Larry Bird has left a legacy of winning everywhere he’s touched a basketball.
