Imagine playing in the NBA. Now picture this: In the middle of a practice, the man with the power to trade or release you steps on the floor and proceed to rain jumpers in from every spot on the court. It would make for a pretty wild scene, right? Well, Larry Bird<\/a> treated Indiana Pacers<\/a> players to such an exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bird always had a flair for the dramatic and loved putting on a show in the 3-Point Contest<\/a> during his career. He did so even as an executive, with former Pacer and current Los Angeles Clippers star Paul George recalling the time Larry Legend had something special in store for Pacers players in the middle of a practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Larry Bird spent nearly 15 years in the Pacers front office<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
