Larry Bird, Boston Celtics legend and NBA Hall of Famer, shot 500 free throws every morning before his first class in high school. But, he didn’t stop there. Larry was known to shoot 100 free throws after every NBA game. The result? The sharp-shooting forward from French Lick, Indiana led the NBA in free throw percentage four times in addition to scoring nearly 22,000 points and winning three NBA titles and three consecutive NBA MVPs. He was also a 12-time all-star in a 13-year career.
