Even in retirement, Larry Bird Was Able to Show Lance Stephenson His Shooting Prowess
For example, stating that Larry Bird was a deadly shooter when playing in the NBA is hardly novel at this point. But it’s also logical to believe that his abilities somewhat declined after retirement. After all, the forward retired in 1992, enduring excruciating discomfort from a back issue.
Even though there isn’t a lot of information available on Larry Legend’s shooting today, it is known that he had it when he worked in the Indiana Pacers front office. Lance Stephenson can answer it for you.
The guard claims that one day, as the guys were stretching, Bird entered the gym and made ten shots without missing a beat. ​With a hint of his trademark assurance, he then merely left the court, took a seat, and carried on with his business.
Seems unreal? Let’s revisit the Pacers practice to see what we can observe.
