Larry Bird has a ghetto pass Share on FacebookSports News Article | Reuters.com: “Hall of Famer Larry Bird says the NBA needs more white stars if it is to continue to appeal to its fan base.
In an interview with ESPN to be aired Thursday ahead of the Game Three of the NBA finals, the former Boston Celtic, widely considered one of the greatest players ever to hit the hardwood, was asked if the league lacked white superstars.
‘Well, I think so,’ Bird said. ‘You know when I played you had me and Kevin (McHale) and some others throughout the league.
‘I think it’s good for a fan base because, as we all know, the majority of the fans are white America. And if you just had a couple of white guys in there, you might get them a little excited.
‘But it is a black man’s game and it will be forever. I mean the greatest athletes in the world are African-American.’
Bird, now the Indiana Pacers president of basketball operations, made the comments during a round-table discussion that included Magic Johnson and NBA rookies LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony.
Former Los Angeles Lakers great Johnson said: ‘We need some more Larry Birds. I mean, you know, you want that. Larry Bird, you see, can go into any neighborhood.”
