Larry Bird

Bird was an elite scorer, rebounder, passer, and defender who led the Boston Celtics to 3 NBA championships. He won 3 consecutive regular-season MVP awards from 1984 to 1986, one more than Magic Johnson's total of 3 overall, and carried a career 3-point percentage of .376, pioneering the long-range shooting era. While Magic's career shooting percentage is .520, Bird's .376 from beyond the arc surpasses the average small forward's 35.8% rate by 1.8 percentage points.
