Larry Bird acknowledged that he relished the sense of victory, particularly when it came against his native team.

A particular place in the hearts of every Boston Celtics fan is reserved for Larry Bird, who starred in a plethora of momentous events at The Garden. The man in question did admit, though, that although a victory at home was invaluable, a triumph on the road was always enhanced by something.

According to Larry Legend, his “greatest” NBA career moments were all of his road victories, whether they came during the regular season or the postseason.

“I also enjoy winning. I prefer the result when you triumph. Nothing compares to taking a road trip. No matter who you play, to win on the road is the greatest feeling ever, Bird said to his former Celtics teammate Kevin McHale in a special interview in 2020. “We always felt we were going to win a home [game], but going on the road, beating anyone, and us getting on that bus and talking about the game, I always thought that was the greatest.”
