In a move that has sent shockwaves through the basketball world, Larry Bird has been officially appointed as the new President of Basketball Operations for the Boston Celtics. The announcement came at a press conference held at the TD Garden earlier today, where Celtics’ owner Wyc Grousbeck introduced Bird as the latest addition to the team’s front office.
Larry Bird, a Hall of Famer and Celtics legend, is no stranger to basketball operations, having previously served as President of Basketball Operations for the Indiana Pacers, where he earned Executive of the Year honors in 2012.

Bird’s appointment is seen as a strategic move to bolster the Celtics’ efforts in rebuilding a championship-caliber team. His wealth of experience and deep ties to the franchise are expected to be invaluable as the team navigates the complexities of player development, trades, and free agency.
Fans and analysts alike are optimistic about Bird’s impact, hoping his leadership will guide the Celtics back to their winning ways.
