The leader of the Boston Celtics that won three World Championships in the 1980’s, Hall of Famer Larry Bird was the NBA Finals MVP in 1984 and 1986. Larry Legend was also the NBA MVP for three consecutive seasons from 1984 through 1986. This jersey has been photo-matched to multiple games including games 1 and 2 of the 1987 Eastern Conference Finals. Bird recorded a double-double in all three games and a triple-double in game 1 with 18 points, 16 rebounds and 11 assists.
