More quotes by Larry Bird
Michael Jordan is God disguised as a basketball player.
Larry Bird

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

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
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 knew I was as good as anybody. That's not really bragging it's just that I'd put the time in.
Larry Bird
You know when I played, you had me and Kevin (McHale) and some others throughout the league. I think it's good for a fan base because as we all know the majority of the fans are white America. And if you just had a couple of white guys in there, you might get them a little excited.
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
What's better? Dogs or broomsticks? I mean will the world really ever know?
Larry Bird
The one thing that always bothered me when I played in the NBA was I really got irritated when they put a white guy on me.
Larry Bird
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
Don't let winning make you soft. Don't let losing make you quit. Don't let your teammates down in any situation.
Larry Bird
