With the 2021 NBA All-Star Weekend up for grabs, the city of Indianapolis and the Indiana Pacers decided that they needed to get commissioner Adam Silvers attention.
And what better way to show off some Indiana pride than to show up and the NBA’s offices in New York in a custom IndyCar?
Larry Bird rolled down 5th Avenue with a big smile on his face, something you don’t see everyday. That something could be the smile or the IndyCar on 5th Avenue, so you can interpret that to your liking.
Obviously this was a photo-op created to make a splash, but that doesn’t mean Bird didn’t enjoy himself according to Pacers.
