Larry Joe Bird (born December 7, 1956) is an American retired professional basketball player who played for the Boston Celtics of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Since retiring as a player, he has been a mainstay in the Indiana Pacers organization, currently serving as team president. Drafted into the NBA sixth overall by the Boston Celtics in 1978, Bird started at small forward and power forward for thirteen seasons, spearheading one of the NBA's most formidable frontcourts that included center Robert Parish and forward Kevin McHale. Bird was a 12-time NBA All-Star and was named the league's Most Valuable Player (MVP) three consecutive times (1984–1986). He played his entire professional career for Boston, winning three NBA championships and two NBA Finals MVP awards.
He was a member of the 1992 United States men's Olympic basketball team ("The Dream Team") that won the gold medal at the 1992 Summer Olympics. Bird was voted to the NBA's 50th Anniversary All-Time Team in 1996 and inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1998 (and was inducted again 2010 as a member of the "Dream Team").
LeBron Raymone James (/ləˈbrɒn/; born December 30, 1984) is an American professional basketball player for the Cleveland Cavaliers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He has started at the small forward and power forward positions. James has won two NBA championships (2012, 2013), four NBA Most Valuable Player Awards (2009, 2010, 2012, 2013), two NBA Finals MVP Awards (2012, 2013), two Olympic gold medals (2008, 2012), an NBA scoring title (2008), and the NBA Rookie of the Year Award (2004). He has also been selected to 12 NBA All-Star teams, 11 All-NBA teams, and six All-Defensive teams, and is the Cavaliers' all-time leading scorer.
James played high school basketball at St. Vincent–St. Mary High School in his hometown of Akron, Ohio, where he was highly promoted in the national media as a future NBA superstar. After graduating, he was selected with the first overall pick in the 2003 NBA draft by the Cavaliers. James led Cleveland to the franchise's first Finals appearance in 2007, losing to the San Antonio Spurs. In 2010, he left the Cavaliers for the Miami Heat in a highly publicized ESPN special titled The Decision. James played four seasons for the Heat, reaching the Finals all four years and winning back-to-back championships in 2012 and 2013. In 2013, he led Miami on a 27-game winning streak, the third longest in league history. Following his final season with the Heat, James opted out of his contract and re-joined the Cavaliers. Behind his leadership, Cleveland advanced to the Finals before losing to the Golden State Warriors.

Magic & Bird: A Courtship of Rivals is a 2010 television documentary film broadcast on HBO. The film chronicles the rivalry between Magic Johnson and Larry Bird that began with the 1979 NCAA Basketball Championship Game and lasted throughout their lengthy Hall of Fame careers in the NBA. The film makes an argument that without the massive media attention that was placed on the rivalry that Magic and Bird had, the NBA might not have made it through the 1980s following the merger with the ABA, among other things.
Highlights from the NBA career of Larry Bird.
The 35-year-old Larry Bird didn't get to the basket on this night at all against a young and athletic Los Angeles Clippers front-line. For that reason, Bird had to stick with his outside shot as he attempted nine 3-pointers (he made three of them) through the course of this game. The final bomb from long range (at 3:14) was the final nail in the coffin and his opponent Ken Bannister admitted defeat by responding to Larry's high-five. March 8, 1991.

Larry Bird Moments along with basketball Olympics
From Larry Bird - A Basketball Legend DVD of 1991
I sold my soul to gain an inch from your woven hands
but I'm starting to realize
That you'll still feel this way
but I'm not gonna change
This phone call has gone the wrong direction
It's all just misperception
and I hope that we can find our way out of this one
I tried so hard but words came out of my mouth so slowly now
and baby girl if you just listen to the way we explain and justify
Where were the ones
that I needed the most?
Were they batting their lashes
at shadows and ghosts?
My patience is stretched thin,
like unaged skin
Dream of better times
when my time meant something
I tried so hard but words came out of my mouth so slowly now
and baby girl if you just listen to the way we explain and justify
My bones they creak, and my heart is weak
from the days we spent on fire
I'm not alone
I'm just flesh and bone
My bones they creak
yeah my bones they creak
My bones they creak, and my heart is weak
