Could we all agree that Lance Stephenson bolting Indiana was a little random?
To Larry Bird it was that’s for sure.
In a piece by Bob Kravitz of the Indy Star the Hall of Fame shooter was completely dumbfounded that Lance left Indy and went to Charlotte where another certain Hall Of Famer calls the shots.
It’s just disappointing.
When I’d go to practices, when he was on, he was by far our best player. And he worked. If you work as hard as he does, you’re going to get better. I’m going to miss the kid, no question. And he’s growing up. That stuff he pulled in the playoffs, that was out of the blue. But I knew how good Lance was and the value he brought to our team.
So as he should feel, he thought he did enough to have Lance but apparently it wasn’t. But Bird is renowned for being tough and he won’t let this bring the team down.
