Larry Bird #33, a power forward for the Boston Celtics, prepares to shoot for the basket as James Worthy #42 and Magic Johnson #32 of the Los Angeles Lakers attempt to block during an NBA Pacific Division basketball game on February 16, 1986, at The Forum arena in Inglewood, Los Angeles, California, USA. The Celtics won the game 105-99.
Earlier this year, the great folks at NBC Sports Boston put together a fantastic 10-part video series featuring the best highlights of Hall of Fame Boston Celtics legend Larry Bird. The video series helped supporters get through the slowest stretch of the pandemic-hit 2021-22 regular season.
With everything behind us, the geniuses at NBC Sports crafted a masterpiece for our viewing pleasure. Except this time, they’ve created a series of videos celebrating the “Hick From French Lick’s” greatest passes and assists during his illustrious stint with Boston. It spans Bird’s entire Celtics career and is an excellent method to learn or rediscover how outstanding the Boston icon was at moving the rock.
Scratch that Celtics basketball itch by watching the first clip in the series attached below, which will keep you occupied until true Boston basketball returns in the autumn, with training camp and preseason not far behind.
