First edition of the Celtics' legend's autobiography. Octavo, original half cloth, illustrated. Boldly signed by Larry Bird on the front free endpaper. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Foreword by Magic Johnson. Written with Bob Ryan.

The heart and soul of a champion: his life, his career, his game. To understand basketball, you have to understand Larry Bird. Arguably the greatest all-around player the game has ever known, he led the Boston Celtics from the basement to three world championships, collecting three NBA Most Valuable Player awards along the way. In Drive, the long-silent superstar sets the record straight, revealed a side of himself-and of basketball-you’ve never see before. Inside, you’ll learn Bird's most private feelings about: The momentous decision to transfer from Bobby Knight’s Indiana University to Indiana State. The heartbreak of his father's suicide and his own failed marriage. The single-minded discipline that turned a small-town hero into a national superstar. The Boston Garden and the legendary Celtic charm. The Isiah Thomas controversy and the fierce Celtic-Laker rivalry.
