He doesn't look like your average basketball player. Yet, Larry Bird is regarded by some as one of the best players to play the game—thanks to his feathery touch when taking a jump shot. Bird made the front court of himself, McHale, and Parish one of most volatile trios to play the game. They led the Boston Celtics to three champions during the 1980's, with Bird leading the team most of the way. He would average as many as 30 points per game on 50 percent shooting.

Career averages: 24 ppg, 10 rpg, and 6 apg.

Τεράστιος παίχτης. Ό,τι και να πούμε για τον Larry Bird θα είναι λίγο. Κατάφερε την πιο μικρή στεφάνι να την κάνει να μοιάζει με βαρέλι με την ευστοχία του κυρίως στα τρίποντα. Τι μου θύμισες τώρα! Καλή εβδομάδα Καπετάνιε.
