Interesting insight on the Legend. Nice conversational feel. Defintely get a good feel on what kind of man Larry Bird is.

Amazing book I liek how Larry bird himself narrates it and overall one of my favorite books

Avarall my favorite book I like how Larry bird himself narrates it.and overall completely recommend

Amazing

Very entertaining! Bird has your everyday blue collar type of mindset, blunt, hard working, and comical. He is a humble genius!

Awesome!

I absolutely loved it! wish it was longer. Lots of laughs along the way

Highly Recommend

Very good book. Focuses mostly on Bird’s playing/coaching days and not so much on his early childhood. I would have liked more on his ISU days. There are times when story goes back and forth in time and it’s hard to keep track. Otherwise, highly recommend for anyone with an interest in learning more about Larry.

Bird

The man’s a Legend and is so humble but demonstrative. I tell my son about him

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!
