Boston Celtics Hall of Famer Larry Bird turned 65 years old today.
From the first game this writer can remember watching, I was smitten with Bird and the game of basketball. I was just a little guy, probably foru or five years old. I just remember watching this guy wearing #33 bury shots and make passes. And I remember the joy it brought my dad and uncles. It was all so perfect.
I was too young to count the 1981 title as my first Celtics title, or so my dad and uncles would say.
