"I've got a theory that if you give 100 percent all of the time, somehow things will work out in the end": First Edition of Larry Bird's Drive; Inscribed by Him
First edition, early printing of the Celtics' legend's autobiography. Octavo, original half cloth, illustrated with photographs. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "To Gary Best Wishes Larry Bird." Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Foreword by Magic Johnson. Written with Bob Ryan.
The heart and soul of a champion: his life, his career, his game. To understand basketball, you have to understand Larry Bird. Arguably the greatest all-around player the game has ever known, he led the Boston Celtics from the basement to three world championships, collecting three NBA Most Valuable Player awards along the way. In Drive, the long-silent superstar sets the record straight, revealed a side of himself-and of basketball-you’ve never see before. Inside, you’ll learn Bird's most private feelings about: The momentous decision to transfer from Bobby Knight’s Indiana University to Indiana State. The heartbreak of his father's suicide and his own failed marriage. The single-minded discipline that turned a small-town hero into a national superstar. The Boston Garden and the legendary Celtic charm. The Isiah Thomas controversy and the fierce Celtic-Laker rivalry.
