Known for his deadly shooting, elite passing, and unmatched basketball IQ, Bird was the engine behind the Celtics’ dominance of the 1980s, cementing his place as one of the most complete and clutch players to ever step on the court. His legendary battles with Magic Johnson not only elevated their own careers but helped define the golden era of the NBA.
