BILL WALTON ON LARRY BIRD

“With Larry, it was always about the joy of TEAM. It was always about the joy of WINNING...Here’s a guy not blessed with a terrific body, a guy who was not fast, a guy who couldn’t jump high. Yet, he was a phenomenal offensive player and an incredible team defensive player...Two things separate Larry — how smart he is and how hard he works.”
