Larry was born in a pretty big family. His mother, Georgia Bird, and father Joe Bird, had to take care of six children.

Larry, on the other hand, wanted to give his brother the right to choose the best path for himslef. He would have some suggestions once in a while, like Eddie’s game and temperament. Eddie took the rooster of Sacramento Kings on Larry’s suggestion and played for them. Playing in Europe was also under Eddie’s radar, but what happened afterward has not been publicized.
