This was not a well kept secret but just as exciting that Larry Bird’s return to the Pacers is now official. Team owner Herb Simon said ”Larry had a huge impact on this team and where it is now, so it’s fitting that he comes back at this time.”
As a Boston Celtics player, Bird won three championships, three MVP awards, was twice the MVP of the NBA Finals and retired in 1992 as one of the greatest players in league history.
