More quotes by Larry Bird
The best basketball announcer is one who allows you to close your eyes.
Larry Bird
I'm a firm believer in that you play the way you practice.
Larry Bird
If you tell a teammate you're ready to play as tough as you're able to, you'd better go out there and do it.
Larry Bird
My opinion about basketball, the way I was taught, was when you step on the court, you play to win.

If there was a payment to the bank due, and we needed shoes, she'd get the shoes, and then deal with them guys at the bank. I don't mean she wouldn't pay the bank, but the children always came first.
Larry Bird
Leadership is getting players to believe in you. If you tell a teammate you're ready to play as tough as you're able to, you'd better go out there and do it. Players will see right through a phony. And they can tell when you're not giving it all you've got.
Larry Bird
I always know what's happening on the court. I see a situation occur, and I respond.
Larry Bird
I don't think that once you get to one level, you can relax. You've got to keep pushing.
Larry Bird
When I was a player, I didn't expect my teammates to play the way I did. I did expect them to work hard every day and get better. And I never learned anything by losing.
Larry Bird
I wanted to compete at the highest level again - and that's the NBA.
Larry Bird
It makes me sick when I see a guy just stare at a loose ball and watch it go out of bounds.
Larry Bird
I just shoot until I feel good.
Larry Bird
I don't know if I practiced more than anybody, but I sure practiced enough. I still wonder if somebody - somewhere - was practicing more than me.
Larry Bird
The more you win, the better you're gonna get. It grows on itself.
Larry Bird
You're all playin' for second place.
Larry Bird
Anytime you've got an opportunity to play for your country and win a gold medal, I think that takes it all. That's the greatest thing you could ever achieve in your sport. So, I have been very fortunate to play on great teams, but the gold medal was probably the best.
Larry Bird
I knew I was as good as anybody. That's not really bragging it's just that I'd put the time in.
Larry Bird
I think you have to work very hard and dedicate yourself and have the respect of your teammates before you're about to go out and just try to take a game over by yourself.
Larry Bird
Who in their right mind wouldn't listen to what Larry Bird tells them? He knows what it takes to be a successful player, and he's letting us do the things to have the success.
Larry Bird
Maybe it's God disguised as Michael Jordan.
