Larry Bird was born on Friday, December 07, 1956 in West Baden, Indiana. He was the son of Georgia Kerns and Claude Joseph "Joe" Bird. He grew up in both West Baden and the adjacent town French Lick, which earned him the nickname "the Hick from French Lick" in his later basketball career."Larry, you only told me one lie. You said there will be another Larry Bird. Larry, there will never, ever be another Larry Bird."
— Magic Johnson, as quoted at Bird's retirement party.
