Product Description
Larry Bird, the NBA’s Most Valuable Player for the three years 1984–1986 and the Boston Celtics’ star since 1979, shares his insights on one of America’s favorite games. Now completely updated to include statistics and photographs from the 1987-88 season, Bird on Basketball puts fans right on the court. With over 100 dramatic action photos, charts, and diagrams, this how-to guide covers all the building blocks of the game—passing, shooting, defense, dribbling, and rebounding—from a champion’s point of view. But as every fan knows, Larry Bird doesn’t just play basketball—he wins. Bird pounds the boards, charges fearlessly to the hoop, and plays a bruising brand of defense. Yet his true strength is his extreme proficiency of the game’s subtle elements. In Bird on Basketball he emphasizes the little things that add up to big victories with tips on moving without the ball, rebound positioning, court sense, being a team player, and training. Bird on Basketball is an all-out effort to give fans and students of the game an inside look at how basketball should be played.

Reader Reviews
[That'll get some 'haters' attention!] Bird, not 'Be Like Mike Jordan' is the best ever. So he didn't have Jordan's athletism? This book will explain why Bird was 'the man' for 13 years. After which he helped lead his US Olympic team to the Gold on the first (so-called) 'Dream Team.' Without him they wouldn't have won it! This book breaks down every faucet of winning basketball like L.B. and Red's videos do as well. Jordan was about as great but I'll take Birdman by three inches, which is how much taller he was over Jordan. Joradn had the advantage of a better bench and Tex Winter's triangle, which is why he was in six NBA Champiosnhips as compared to Bird's 5. My Alltime NBA Team: Centre - Bill Russell F - Larry Bird F - Julius Erving G - Michael Jordan G - John Stockton 6th - Detlef Schrempf 7th - Kevin McHale 8th - Kevin Willis 9th - Craig Ehlo 10th- Artis Gilmore 11th- Dan Issel 12th- Eric Piatkowski [Hey, you can't PICK ALL Stars. You gotta have quality role players,too!]
