Ball game Quote by Larry Bird

“I was always making decisions and they were easier decisions…” quote by Larry Bird — Download Open image

“I was always making decisions and they were easier decisions because I had control of the game, I had control of the ball. As a coach you sort of put the ball in other player's hands and let them make decisions for you. But I still get a kick out of winning basketball games and that's what I'm in this for.”
