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

Larry Bird
You're all playin' for second place.
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
The best player I ever played with was Dennis Johnson.
Larry Bird
When I was a player, I didn't expect my teammates to play the way I did. I did expect them to work hard every day and get better. And I never learned anything by losing.
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
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.
