Have posted before, maybe the biggest basketball myth after Hoosiers was Bird as “The Hick From French Lick”; Bird upped his game big time playing with grown men from Chicago working the hotels in Indiana during the summer. He has been quite open about the debt of gratitude he owed them for accepting him and letting him play in their pick up games as a high schooler. They taught him a ton about basketball, including how to stand your ground and how to trash talk.
