| Larry Bird became a member of the Boston Celtics basketball team in 1979. With his excellent shooting, rebounding, and passing skills, Bird helped the Celtics win the National Basketball Association (NBA) championship in 1981, 1984, and 1986. He earned three league most valuable player awards (1984, 1985, 1986), won a gold medal as a member of the 1992 United States Olympic team, and retired in 1992 with a reputation as one of the greatest all-around basketball players in history. Here, Bird (33) shoots over Washington’s Bernard King (30) in 1990. |
