Amidst Celtics feud in the playoffs, Larry bird is confident about…

Larry Bird, the legendary Boston Celtics forward, recently reflected on the 1981 NBA Finals, stating he was never worried about losing to the Houston Rockets. Bird’s confidence was well-founded, as the Celtics dominated the series 4-2, capturing their 14th NBA championship.

Bird, who averaged 21.9 points and 10.5 rebounds per game during the series, credited his team’s experience and determination for their success. He praised the Rockets, led by Moses Malone, but believed his Celtics had the edge.

“We had a great team, great coaching, and we were all on the same page,” Bird said. “I knew we had what it took to win it all.”

The 1981 NBA Finals marked Bird’s first championship, and he went on to win two more with the Celtics in 1984 and 1986. His confidence and clutch performances cemented his status as one of the greatest players in NBA history.
