Larry Bird, the legendary basketball player, was born on December 7, 1956, in West Baden Springs, Indiana, USA. His parents were Claude Joseph “Joe” Bird and Georgia (née Kerns) Bird. Larry was the fourth of six children in his family.
Joe Bird worked as a laborer, and the family struggled financially during Larry’s childhood. Growing up in French Lick, Indiana, Larry and his siblings were raised in modest circumstances.
Bird’s family background, particularly his upbringing in a small town and his close-knit family ties, played a significant role in shaping his character and work ethic. Despite facing challenges, Larry Bird’s dedication to basketball and his natural talent propelled him to become one of the greatest players in NBA history.
