Larry Bird first appeared as a Sports Illustrated cover boy while still at Indiana State University in November of 1977. The young Bird is pictured with a pair of Indiana State cheerleaders putting a finger to their lips and a smirk on his face next to the headline “COLLEGE BASKETBALL’S SECRET WEAPON.” CGC has deemed this copy of Larry Legend’s debut issue a solid 7.0.
