Larry Legend

By Mike Hall, October 7, 2026

Larry Bird is surely one of the top 12 players in basketball history.

Russell, Kareem, Michael, Oscar, Wilt, Jerry, Magic, LeBron, Kobe, Dr.J, Tim Duncan/Steph Curry

He once told teammate Kevin McHale that he was getting bored on a long roadtrip. He said he was going to shoot nearly everything left handed against The Portland Trailblazers.

Bird had 27 points.

Trust me…he’s the only player in history who could have done this.
