Looking Back: Larry Bird

The Boston Celtics won their 50th game of the season last night, and are on their way to the 1st overall seed in the Eastern Conference. The last time the C's were this dominant, they had a guy by the name of Larry Bird.

Most of my peers knowledge of Larry Legend stems from stories told to us by our fathers, uncles, and grandparents. In 2008, we still cant grasp just how special a player Larry Bird was. His flair for the dramatic, as well as unorthodox passes and shots defined what type of competitor he was. He knew he was going to beat you, and he knew how he was going to do it.

Check out this video of some of Larry's best moments and look out for 1:55 into the video where he passes the ball off the backboard to himself.

There will never be another Larry Bird. Enjoy!
