Larry’s Final Final
Date: February 5, 1993
While the Celtics officially said “happy retirement” to Larry Bird at Boston Garden on February 4, 1993, there were parties all around Boston that weekend for the Legend from French Lick. The final party took place at the popular Dockside restaurant and bar near Faneuil Hall, noted as being “one of Bird’s main hangouts.” Former teammate Scott Wedman caught up with Bird that night and said, “Larry was always a little distant…with fans, with the press. I think this was his chance to open up a little and really show that he appreciated the fans.”
