NBA legend Larry Bird has another reason to celebrate—he’s officially a grandfather! The Boston Celtics icon and his family welcomed their first grandchild, a baby boy, this week, adding a new chapter to Bird’s life off the court. Bird, who has always been known for his stoic demeanor during his playing days, couldn’t hide his excitement as he spoke about the joys of becoming a grandparent.
In a recent interview, Bird shared, “It’s a different kind of joy. You’ve been through a lot in life, but this feels fresh and new. I can’t wait to teach him how to play basketball.”
Bird has remained active in the basketball world, providing mentorship to rising stars in the NBA, particularly with the Indiana Pacers, where he once served as an executive. As he moves into this new role of guiding not only basketball players but also his own family, Bird’s legacy continues to grow, both on and off the court.
