Larry Bird
Practice habits were crucial to my development in basketball. I didn't play against the toughest competition in high school, but one reason I was able to do well in college was that I mastered the fundamentals. You've got to have them down before you can even think about playing.
Larry Bird
The more you win, the better you're gonna get. It grows on itself.
Larry Bird

Larry Bird

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
Strength is not nearly as important as desire. I don't think you can teach anyone desire. I think it's a gift. I don't know why I have it, but I do.
Larry Bird
