Throwback Thursday: Larry Bird Springs Valley High School highlights

You've undoubtedly seen footage from Larry Bird's National Championship match-up with Magic Johnson, but typically that's the extent of pre-NBA Larry Bird footage that is shown. We recently posted Larry's other Final 4 game from that 1979 college season and today we have some footage from Larry's high school days at Springs Valley High School in French Lick Indiana.

The footage of Larry in games looks like something from a 1930's Charlie Chaplin movie, but it works just the same. Larry's late growth spurt is probably one of the reasons he's such a great passer.
