Larry Bird is widely regarded as one of the greatest basketball players of all-time. He surely was one of the best throughout the 1980s. Bird made the All-Star game in every full season he played. He won three NBA MVP awards and three titles with the Boston Celtics<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bird is one of the deadliest shooters in the history of the sport. He shot almost 50 percent from the field across his entire career. The Hall-of-Famer could go for 40 on any given night, and that was just with his dominant right hand. One night in 1986, Bird decided he was bored of scoring with his right, so he played a whole game with his left hand. What occurred that night became one of the most iconic games in NBA history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
