This cache is dedicated to one of the great players to play the game, Larry Joe Bird (born 7 December 1956), who is also known by his nickname – ‘Larry Legend’.
Bird enrolled in Indiana State University in 1975. He had a successful three year career with the Sycamores, helping them reach the NCAA tournament for the first time in school history and leading them to the championship game against Michigan State in 1979.
Bird was selected by the Boston Celtics with the sixth overall pick in the 1978 NBA Draft. Bird did not sign with the Celtics immediately; instead, he played out his final season at Indiana State and then signed a five year, $3.25 million contract with the team, making him the highest paid rookie in league history at the time. Bird immediately transformed the Celtics into a title contender, helping them improve their win total by 32 games from the year before he was drafted and finish first in the Eastern Conference.
Bird went on to play 13 seasons in the NBA for the Boston Celtics, and during his time at the club he led them to win three NBA championships.
