Larry Bird, also known as the Hick from French Lick, and Larry Legend is widely regarded

as one of the greatest basketball players of all time. Larry is the only person in

NBA history to be named Rookie of the Year, Most Valuable Player, Finals MVP,

all-Star MVP, Coach of the Year, and the Executive of the Year. All this you probably already know,

but did you know that Larry's younger brother Eddie

was also talented, if not even more, than Larry?

Larry's brother is Eddie, Eddie Bird. Have you ever heard of him? Probably not. Why? Because

Talent doesn't equal success. In 1986, Eddie broke the all-time scoring record at Springs Valley High School in French Lick, Indiana, which was previously set by Larry.

Eddie broke Larry Legends's record, proving his talent was even more promising.

At 6 foot 6, Eddie was an all-star basketball player averaging 20 points per game.

He was set to play college ball at Indiana State just like Larry did.

As a freshman, he was academically ineligible to play,

so Larry paid his little brother's tuition.

And then the next year, when Eddie was was playing he was one of the leading

scores in the entire country averaging over 15 points a game. Eddie was really

really good. He shot 45% from the three-point line, and when he graduated in 1991, he was the number five on the school's all-time scoring list.

In the summer, after college, he was with the Sacramento Kings in their rookie free agent camp, but Eddie didn't make the team.

He was being told by scouts to go to Europe for a couple of years, make six figures, and then come back to play in the NBA.

But we never saw that happen.

Why?
