NBA - Larry Bird - custom jersey

Retro custom Larry Bird jersey including coa. Item includes career stats.

Bird was born in West Baden Springs, Indiana, to the marriage of Georgia and Joe Bird. He grew up in West Baden Springs and the nearby town of French Lick, which earned him the nickname The Hick from French Lick. Bird began his basketball career on the Springs Valley High School team, where he is still known as the most productive player ever to play for Springs Valley High.

Bird managed to win the NBA Championship a total of three times, among others with NBA legends Robert Parish and Kevin McHale. Along with Magic Johnson, he helped bring the popularity of NBA basketball to new heights, which had stalled at the time. They did this mainly by reviving the long-standing rivalry between Bird’s Celtics and Magic’s Lakers.

During his NBA career, Larry Bird achieved very impressive averages of 24.3 points per game, 10.0 rebounds per game, and 6.3 assists per game.

At the 1992 Games, he won the gold medal with the first and most legendary Dream Team.

Bird is still regarded as one of the greatest players in NBA history and was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1998. Bird was selected in 1996 as one of the 50 greatest NBA players ever.

Earvin "Magic" Johnson Jr. (Lansing, Michigan, August 14, 1959) is a former American basketball player. He played as point guard for the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA, where he achieved his greatest successes. Together with Larry Bird (from the Boston Celtics), he was seen as one of the figures that rekindled interest in professional basketball for the media.

He began his career at Everett High School, where he quickly developed into one of the best players at that level. In the 1976-1977 season he was among the McDonald's All-Americans. Although several universities had already shown interest, he chose his own Michigan State amid much public attention, where he would fulfill the role of his dreams as point guard. At a height of two meters six centimeters and with his exceptional ball-handling skills, court vision, and passing, he quickly developed together with Larry Bird (who at that time played for Indiana State) into the best players at college level of that moment. In 1979, he captured the coveted NCAA championship at the expense of Bird’s team, in one of the greatest college battles ever shown.
