Avarall my favorite book I like how Larry bird himself narrates it.and overall completely recommend

Amazing

Very entertaining! Bird has your everyday blue collar type of mindset, blunt, hard working, and comical. He is a humble genius!

Awesome!

I absolutely loved it! wish it was longer. Lots of laughs along the way

Highly Recommend

Very good book. Focuses mostly on Bird’s playing/coaching days and not so much on his early childhood. I would have liked more on his ISU days. There are times when story goes back and forth in time and it’s hard to keep track. Otherwise, highly recommend for anyone with an interest in learning more about Larry.
