Around the house, Mama Bird revealed the moniker they gave Larry..
Nobody, not even within the Bird family, saw Larry as one of the greatest basketball players of all time. Larry was the total opposite of the basketball player everyone knows from all the legendary brawls and trash-talking tales before he ever picked up a stick. It seemed that playing basketball let out the vicious, competitive murderer within him. But why was there even a competitive attitude in the first place?
Larry Bird charted French Lick’s location.
Nobody imagined that a boy with blond hair from a little hamlet in French Lick, Indiana, would grow up to be one of the greatest of all time. Even the mother of Larry Bird acknowledged being taken aback by the way things turned out.The Bird family was well-known despite the small size and modest appearance of the town. No one pestered Larry to sign an autograph despite their immense fame. People in that town respected him and granted him space since they understood that town was his home.
Georgia described her son as a “very quiet boy,” a “loving boy,” and a “good boy.” These may seem like the most erroneous descriptors when you see the Boston Celtics great because, in his day, he developed a reputation as one of the league’s most vicious trash talkers.
Mr. Clean was born out of Larry Bird.
Unexpectedly, Georgia disclosed that the 12-time All-Star’s hometown nickname is “Mr Clean.” As it happens, The Legend is a bit of a clean freak.
Few people are aware that we gave him the moniker “Mr. Clean.” I’m not sure if I should mention this or not. After playing outside, he would return inside, take a shower, and change into new clothing. Being unclean was intolerable to him. He needed to be tidy.
