More quotes by Larry Bird

Leadership is diving for a loose ball, getting the crowd involved, getting other players involved. It's being able to take it as well as dish it out. That's the only way you're going to get respect from the players.
Larry Bird
Guys like Larry Bird -- he played so hard, he wants everybody else to play hard. That's not unreasonable. Any coach would want that and demand that.
Larry Bird
Eminem. My son was listening to that and I was like, “What is that junk?” Then I started listening and I thought, You know, that kid is pretty good. It's the storytelling.
Larry Bird

Larry Bird
I don't think that once you get to one level, you can relax. You've got to keep pushing.
Larry Bird
It's been a journey, the NBA. It's taken me a lot farther than I ever expected.

Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.
Larry Bird
