Larry Bird’s legacy in the NBA is set in stone. The 66-year-old played from 1979 to 1992 for the Celtics. During his time in the league, Bird won 3 NBA titles, 2 Finals MVPs, 3 NBA MVPs, and made 12 All-Star appearances. Nicknamed the Hick from French Lick, many consider Bird to be one of the greatest basketball players of all time.

Amidst the many achievements that Bird has under his belt, he also holds a unique record that hasn’t been repeated. Bird is the only player in the league’s history to have won Coach of the Year, Executive of the Year, Rookie of the Year, league MVP, All-Star MVP, and Finals MVP.
