Larry Bird: Left-Handed Game

Bird’s teammate, Bill Walton, recalls when Bird planned this:

“At the end of one of the trips, he had accomplished every goal, we hadn’t lost a game on the trip, and Larry told all of us players and the media too, we were all standing around waiting to leave, he said, ‘Tomorrow night’s the last game of the trip, I’m going to play this one left-handed, at least through three quarters.’”

Despite playing most of the game with his left-hand, Bird scored 47 points, secured 14 rebounds, and dished out 11 assists. Bird was 100% from three-point land, not missing a beat.
