Averaging 24.5 points a game over his 12-year NBA career, the brilliant Bird led the league in free throw shooting percentage for four seasons and is the only Celtic to score 2000-plus points in three consecutive seasons. Bird has also stunned fans with 40 or more points 51 times in his career, including four games where he eclipsed the 50-point mark.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e⚡ Fun Fact:\u003c\/strong\u003e Larry Bird won three consecutive NBA MVP awards (1984–86) and three NBA Championships (1981, 1984, 1986) with the Boston Celtics. The 1984–85 season — the year this swatch originates from — was one of the greatest individual seasons in NBA history. Bird was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1998 and is widely regarded as one of the five greatest players in NBA history. A photo-matched game worn relic from this era is an exceptionally rare find.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Skybox","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54839286661333,"sku":null,"price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0818\/5783\/9317\/files\/IMG_0714.jpg?v=1788575294","url":"https:\/\/taylormadetradingcompany.com\/products\/1992-skybox-usa-17-larry-bird-nba-shooting-1984-game-worn-pants-photo-matched-10-31-84-jf-authentic-collection","provider":"Taylor Made Trading Company, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
