Larry Bird has enjoyed a stellar playing career and an almost equally as stellar career in the front office. Fresh off of an Exucutive of the Year award, Bird has decided to call it quits.
Larry Bird has decided to call it quits as president of the Indiana Pacers. Bird is ’100 percent sure’ he will not return as president of the team, a person with direct knowledge of the situation said. Bird, 55, is expected to meet with owner Herb Simon today to finalize his departure.
Bird’s departure will end what had become annual speculation about his future. He and Simon operated under a yearly handshake agreement because Bird was not interested in a long-term commitment.
