Way to go, Larry
I'm not a big Larry Bird fan. Okay, I despise the guy.
But, I must admit this impressed me. Bird, reportedly, purchased the entire balcony at Conseco Fieldhouse at Indiana in an effort to fill the arena for tonight's WNBA Eastern Conference playoff game against Detroit.
Someone said it's about 9,000 seats, which would be an amazing amount of money for me. It's probably not that much for Larry Bird. But, it's still an incredible gesture and a nice show of support for the ladies on the Fever's team.
He might be trying to keep up with Magic Johnson, who has been a huge supporter of the Los Angeles Sparks this season. Magic skipped Michael Jordan's Hall of Fame ceremony so he could support Lisa Leslie in her final regular-season game in Los Angeles.
With all the criticism the WNBA gets, it's nice to see these basketball legends, who truly understand what the sport is all about, throw their support toward women's basketball.
