Larry Bird
I really don't like talking about money. All I can say is that the Good Lord must have wanted me to have it.
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
What's better? Dogs or broomsticks? I mean will the world really ever know?
