Fitting that Larry Bird would hit the first 3-pointer in an NBA All-Star game. It was his teammate Chris Ford who connected on the first 3-pointer in NBA history on openiong night of that 1979-1980 season, which was Larry's rookie year.
Whenever someone tries to compare Bird's stats to someone playing in the modern NBA, please remind them that there was no 3-point shot in the league while he was growing up or in college. Teams rarely used the 3-pointer during Bird' career. James Harden for instance attempted more 3-pointer in the past two seasons than Bird did in his career.
