Larry Bird has decided to call it quits as president of the Indiana Pacers.

Bird is “100 percent sure” he will not return as president of the team, a person with direct knowledge of the situation told The Star on Monday.

Bird, 55, is expected to meet with owner Herb Simon today to finalize his departure.


Bird’s departure will end what had become annual speculation about his future. He and Simon operated under a yearly handshake agreement because Bird was not interested in a long-term commitment.

i'd rather see bird stay... this team was really headed in a good direction

he is a good GM/ president

How was he good he destroyed the team isiah built after he quit the first time as coach then he tried to build an aryan nation which failed and then he got lucky the pacers faced the magic w/o dwight and chris bosh got hurt or hey would have been bounced in five. They got lucky cuz it was magic or they would have been bounced by every other team in the east

They were just inconsistent. When Dwight and his teammates where dialed in they looked downright dangerous, but with all the bullshyt swirling around Dwight, The GM, and the Coach that team was a mess mentally and it showed on the court at times.

Magic were always a streaky team, but it got much worse this past season.

Larry Bird is a non pedo version of Karl Malone, it just gets continually swept under the rug by the media.
