Another side of the Legend
A lot of us who are Bird fans have heard the same old stories over and over. This is a broader and fresher perspective from his career as a player into coaching. We all love that blue collar demeanor Bird carries to the grave, but this book seemed to be a little on the dry side. It may have been the narrator to be honest. It didn’t hit the spot for me all that much, but still had some decent information and perspective. Larry!!, Larry!!, Larry!! haha!
