Larry Bird’s first game with the Boston Celtics. #shorts #short
Do you have a memory after after leaving Indiana State coming to the NBA? You have a memory of the first game you played? The one thing I really remember about the first game is somebody let a dove out or a pigeon, a white bird, and I knew right then that um it was something special. I didn’t The first shot I took, I missed and I end up getting a rebound, putting it in with my left hand, but it was all a fall. I didn’t think it was such a big deal, but as I played two or three games, I knew I was a tough career here because I knew the Dave Collins told me when I first came in, he goes, “The one thing about playing in Boston is don’t go about it 90 or 80% because the fans know basketball here.” And that stuck with me. I said, “If if you dog it, they know. So play 100% every night.
