Larry Bird participated in 10 NBA All-Star Games. He didn't care for any of them, and that would include the 1982 affair, in which he was rightly adjudged to be the Most Valuable Player.
"They're not my style," he said time and time and time again. "It's nice to be picked, but it's not the kind of game that's good for me." Let the record show that Bird hit the first 3-point shot in All-Star Game history -- a biggie that salted away an East OT triumph in 1980 at the Capital Centre.
