Arguably the greatest small forward in NBA history Larry Bird personified hustle consistency and execution in all areas of play throughout his 13-year career with the Boston Celtics. He was a scorer distributor rebounder defender and most importantly for the Boston faithful a clutch performer who demanded the ball with the game on the line. Few played harder than Bird who would leap into the stands and over press tables for loose balls. Never lacking confidence on the court he would often tell his opponents exactly what he was going to do and challenge then to stop him.

Featured here is Larry Legend’s circa 1980 rookie-era game worn Celtics road jersey. On the front left tail is the “Sand-Knit” manufacturer's tag with size “46” flag tag. Adjacent to the “Sand-Knit” label is a white strip tag with “31” in black. Across the front reads "Celtics" and Bird’s long-retired player number “33” appears on front and back. Across the back is the player name "BIRD". All the lettering and numbering is done in white tackle twill. The jersey is properly tagged in all original condition and shows appropriate use.

Accompanied by a LOA from the Boston Celtics trainer. Additional LOA from MEARS graded A8.
