The Legend turns 60; Larry Bird reflects on his style of play and how it shortened his career

Larry Bird hits the milestone age of 60 today. The now President of Basketball Operations for the Indiana Pacers has had an illustrious career as both a player and an executive. Bird is the only person ever to be awarded the NBA's Most Valuable Player, Coach of the Year, and Executive of the Year. This has everything to do with Larry's incessant strive towards excellence that he brings to work everyday.

Bird played 13 seasons for the Boston Celtics, and his success on the court speaks for itself. He's a 3-time NBA Champion, 3-time MVP, 12-time All-Star, and is heralded as one of the greatest players of all-time.
