Larry Bird
You can make all the excuses you want, but if you're not mentally tough and you're not prepared to play every night, you're not going to win.
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

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 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
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
I just shoot until I feel good.
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
Maybe it's God disguised as Michael Jordan.
Larry Bird
The more you win, the better you're gonna get. It grows on itself.
Larry Bird
Michael Jordan is God disguised as a basketball player.
