More quotes by 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.

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
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
I wasn't real quick, and I wasn't real strong. Some guys will just take off and it's like, whoa. So I beat them with my mind and my fundamentals.
Larry Bird
You're all playin' for second place.
Larry Bird
I think a lot of blue collar people related to me because a lot of people work for their money.
Larry Bird
The best player I ever played with was Dennis Johnson.
Larry Bird
I really don't like talking about money. All I can say is that the Good Lord must have wanted me to have it.
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
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.
