And then, last year in his rookie season as head coach of the Indiana Pacers, he infused the team with these same qualities -- and the results were remarkable. He turned around a slumping franchise and led the Pacers to the conference finals. To finish off a great season, Bird was named the NBA's "Coach of the Year" -- quite an accolade for Bird, who had never coached before and surprised many fans with his unusual and unorthodox coaching methods. This book is a look into one of the greatest minds to have ever stepped on a hardwood court. Larry Bird shares his inner thoughts on basketball that to date only his Celtic teammates and Pacers players have been privy. From dissecting offensive and defensive strategies to assessing the talent of NBA players; from sharing the genesis of his coaching philosophies to how he deals with today's overpriced and temperamental players, it's all there. This book is Larry Bird's basketball playbook, and it's the one book every basketball fan will want to read. Cover design by Tom Tafuri Cover photograph by Glenn James/NBA Photos Review: Excellent book - I really enjoyed the entire book. It's almost like sitting down with Bird and having a conversation. Love his insights and his knowledge of the game. My favorite all-time athlete, and it seems he was an excellent coach as well. A role model from my teen years to the present. The book is interesting all the way through. There are no dull spots. A pleasure to read, and I've already suggested it to students who play basketball. Review: Larry Bird fan? Buy it. - That book is so cool! It reads well.... I can nearly hear what Larry's saying as I read. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,232,273 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #138 in Basketball Biographies (Books) #214 in Basketball (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 60 Reviews | ## Images ![Bird Watching: On Playing and Coaching the Game I Love - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81-+7o7VknL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book *by L***A on December 25, 2022* I really enjoyed the entire book.
