NBA - Larry Bird - custom jersey

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

Bird was born in West Baden Springs, Indiana, to Georgia and Joe Bird. He grew up in West Baden Springs and the nearby town of French Lick, earning 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, alongside NBA legends like Robert Parish and Kevin McHale, managed to win a total of three NBA championships. Along with Magic Johnson, he led the popularity of NBA basketball, which had been somewhat in the doldrums, to new heights. They achieved this primarily by reviving the long-standing rivalry between Bird's Celtics and Magic's Lakers.

During his NBA career, Larry Bird averaged very impressive 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 considered one of the greatest players in NBA history and was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1998. In 1996, Bird was voted one of the 50 Greatest Players of the NBA.

Earvin "Magic" Johnson Jr. (born August 14, 1959 in Lansing, Michigan) is an American former basketball player. He played as a point guard for the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA, where he achieved his greatest success. Along with Larry Bird (of the Boston Celtics), he was considered one of the figures who made professional basketball interesting to the media again.

He began his career at Everett High School, where he quickly developed into one of the best players at that level. In 1976-77, he was a McDonald's All-American. Although several universities applied, he chose Michigan State amidst great public interest, where he was offered his dream position as point guard. Standing six feet, six inches tall and possessing exceptional ball skills, vision, and passing, he quickly developed, along with Larry Bird (who played for Indiana State at the time), into the best players at the college level at the time. In 1979, he defeated Bird's team to win the coveted NCAA championship in one of the greatest college battles ever seen.
