Someone pointed out that he shortened his career by hurting his back carrying cement when he could have hired someone else to do it, but then another poster pointed out that accidents happen ON the court, all the time. Not just off the court.

"Larry Bird remembers when players that later went bankrupt made fun of him for saving his money - 'They'd just laugh and make jokes about me stashing my money away.' "

"Larry Bird believed in hard work and being smart about money which is the main reason why he always refused to give money away to players that went broke."

A fool and his money are soon popular.
