Injured or not, it's still impressive that the Pistons held him that low.Many heralded the Detroit defense for holding Larry to 10 ppg in the (1988) conference finals. What many didn’t know was that Larry Bird was hampered by painful bones spurs in both feet.
For the first time in 4 seasons, Larry Bird’s Boston Celtics would not advance to the NBA Finals.
Career low of 45%Bird would miss twenty two of the next forty eight games leading up to the playoffs (bad back). In the games he did play in, Bird had people scratching their heads in disbelief at Larry’s lack of mobility and inability to shoot efficiently. Bird would finish the season with a career low 45% field goal percentage.
Dude takes shite from nobody!Bird’s ability to step up to challenging opponents helped to coin his legendary nickname. 1991 was no different. The upstart Indiana Pacers and Chuck Person presented his most formidable and brazen opponent in some time. Person had publicly stated that he had no great respect or fear for Larry Bird. That Bird was in the twilight of his career and posed no threat for Person to defend him.
The severely injured Bird responded with a triple double in Boston’s game one victory and then spent the night in traction at the hospital.
Fuck fracture in the face. The man guaranteed a win, the man gits the win.Chasing a loose ball, Bird was knocked to the ground slamming his face off the parquet floor. After gathering himself on the court, Bird walked back to the locker room. It was uncertain if Bird would return.
While sidelined with a broken cheek bone, Bird watched his team squander their lead. As the third quarter wore on, it looked as if the Pacers were gaining momentum and the Celtics were bewildered without their legendary floor leader.
At the midway point of the third quarter Larry Bird re-entered the game. To the delight of the Garden crowd, Bird scored 14 points in the remaining minutes of the quarter. Bird, in customary fashion, created the spark to carry Boston to victory while proving that he can still take over games even while in severe back pain.
