I grew up watching the Orlando Magic of the 1990s. So this history of the team hits home because the myself and the rest of Central Florida had such high hopes for a team in an area void of professional sports.

An Oral History of Larry Bird’s 60-Point Game
Chad Finn with an An Oral History of Larry Bird’s 60-Point Game against the Atlanta Hawks:
People get caught up in points, but I can’t say it’s in the top 20 of my favorite games. I had games where I scored just 15 or 16 points, but I played excellent basketball in my mind, I did a little bit of everything. I didn’t rebound or pass much.
– Larry Bird
Bird was my favorite player growing up because of his focus on the game, not the details that didn’t matter.
