Boston Celtics icon Larry Bird was an ELITE passer
Boston Celtics icon Larry Bird is perhaps best known for countless ways he could hang points on an opposing team, finding ways to score that sometimes baffled his defenders, coupled with eviscerating trash talk that broke their spirits at the same time.
But the Hick From French Lick could also move the rock on an elite level and was not selfish when he saw an open man with an easier shot than he had at any given moment. All the way back to his days at Indiana State in college, Larry Legend was already using his crafty court vision to lift his teammates.
Renowned NBA draft analyst Ben Pfieffer sat down and broke down some of Bird’s passing film for a recent short.
Watch his clip for yourself to see why Bird was not just an otherworldly scorer but also a top-notch floor general when he needed to be.
