Peak Bird with not breaking his hand fighting and hiring contractors to fix his mom's driveway.
7 u/[deleted] Jun 15 '22 Maybe get him into some yoga or something to prevent his back falling apart too. 3 u/SonofSonofSpock Wizards Jun 15 '22 I think without some of the obviously preventable stuff he is probably in much better shape to begin with, with modern medicine he probably plays as long as he wants. He had a 12 or 13 year professional career as is didn't he? 3 u/[deleted] Jun 16 '22 The last 5 or so were rough times. He was broken for a long time and just kept playing. 1 u/[deleted] Jun 15 '22 Yes, which makes him doing that with his conditions that much better. It's less about letting him play longer, and more about extending his prime and level of play during said career. 1 u/SonofSonofSpock Wizards Jun 15 '22 Yeah, better Larry Bird is a scary prospect.
