Did Larry bird have a brother who played basketball?

Answer 1

Yes. Eddie Bird, Larry's youngest brother, played Basketball for Indiana State Sycamores (Larry's alma mater) from 1986-1990. Eddie ranks 6th all-time on Indiana State's scoring list. He is 3rd all-time for 3-point field goals made. Eddie broke Larry's career scoring record at Springs Valley High in French Lick, Ind., however, Eddie's 1,172 points came in four full seasons, while Larry missed virtually his entire sophomore year with an injury and still scored 1,125. Consider, too, that when Larry bought his widowed mother, Georgia, a new house in 1983, he installed, in time for Eddie's sophomore year in high school, a full basketball court, complete with Plexiglas backboards, in the front yard. Eddie is currently the city park superintendent in Terre Haute, Indiana.
