Bird, a versatile wing man who played the power forward and small forward positions, is considered as one of the greatest players of all time, to which his twelve All-Star team nominations are a testament. The sharpshooting Bird made his name stepping up his performance in critical situations, and is credited with a long list of dominating games, buzzer beaters and clutch defensive plays. He won two NBA Finals MVP and three regular-season MVP awards, something only five other players in the history of the NBA have accomplished. Bird possessed an uncanny and unparalleled ability to anticipate and react to the strategies of his opponents. His talent for recognizing the moves of opponents and teammates prompted his first coach with the Celtics, Bill Fitch, to nickname him "Kodak", because he seemed to formulate mental pictures of every play that took place on the court. Bird scored 24.3 points per game in his career on a high .496 field goal average, a stellar .886 free throw average (9th best all-time) and a 37.6 percentage on 3-point shots. Bird was also a good rebounder (10.0 rebounds per game career average) and an excellent playmaker (6.3 assists per game career average). He was elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1998, two years after being named one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History. In 1990, Larry Bird was a starter for the Eastern Conference, scoring 8 points, grabbing 8 rebounds, dishing out 3 assists and tallying 3 steals on 3 of 8 shooting in a 130 to 113 victory for the Eastern Conference. On the front left tail of the jersey is the "Sand-Knit" manufacturer’s size 46 tag. Across the front is "NBA ALL STAR" in red on blue screen print. On the front and on the back is the player number "33" in blue screen print. Across the back is the player name “BIRD” in blue screen print. On the left breast is the official embroidered “NBA” logo. On the back inside waistband of the shorts is the "Sand-Knit" manufacturer’s size 36 tag. Attached are two “01” flag tags. Adjacent is a blank strip tag with the player number “33” written in black marker. On each leg is “EAST” in red on blue screen print. On the lower right leg is the official embroidered “NBA” logo. The uniform shows game-use and appears to have no alterations of any kind.
