Happy Birthday Larry!
It’s hard to believe that Larry Bird is 53 years old. On Pearl Harbor Day in 1956, a legend was born. In celebration of Larry’s day, we have listed some links to stories that have appeared on NSS involving Larry-Legend.
Larry also had no shame in pimping out just about anything possible to squeeze some endorsement bucks out of the barrel. Needless to say, their is no shortage of classic and hilarious Bird commercials over the year’s. My favorite is Larry’s attempt at looking fashionable in 1981 in a designer jeans commercial. Check them all out below!
So, in true Bird style, crack open a Miller Lite, rip open a bag of Lays, lace up your Cons, eat 33 Big Macs, squeeze into a pair of Chardon (what the hell are they?) tight jeans, flip open an NBA catalog, eat a prime rib and, well… the list of Bird’s favorite things to do goes on and on… lol.
Enjoy!

Off the moon, around the equator, off a third world nation, through an aurora borealis, nothing but net.
