Part 2/6:
Over his illustrious 13-year career, Larry Bird averaged an impressive 24.3 points per game coupled with a remarkable 56.4 true shooting percentage. These numbers represent his efficiency and effectiveness as a scorer. Bird's reputation as a legendary scorer is further enhanced by his status as the all-time leading playoff scorer for the Boston Celtics, a team with a storied history of basketball talent.
Bird’s prowess behind the arc is notable; he is often regarded as one of the greatest three-point shooters in history. Tied with Craig Hodges for the most Three-Point Contest victories (three), Bird’s achievement is particularly impressive when considering he participated in only four contests, compared to Hodges who appeared in eight.
