Larry Bird, the hick from French Lick, wanted no glamorous farewell tour when he retired! 👟

If you knew Larry Bird, you already knew the Hick from French Lick wanted no glamorous farewell tour when he decided to retire from the hardwood. Well, staying true to his bluecollar roots, Larry Legends skipped the glitz. He quietly retired in 1992 and Bird made it clear he didn’t want a leaguewide sendoff for him. Boston raising number 33 to the Rafters was more than enough. They really don’t make hoopers like him anymore.
