The characters in my story are Larry, Kevin, Danny, more NBA players, Dinah and Larry's coach, Coach Fitch. So far, Larry and the Celtics have gone through three seasons and have won one NBA Championship. Yet during the 1982 regular season, Bird had dislocated his jaw during going for a rebound and got an "bow" to the right side of his face. Despite the fact that Larry is handicapped, he decides to play as the '6th man' (a phrase used to describe the first player to check in after the game has started). During this time, his teammates Kevin, Parish, Ainge, Tiny, and Carr are helping him get through the games by helping take "the load off" of scoring or rebounding. Even though I already know what will happen due to the fact that I know numerous facts about Bird, I am excited to read on. I can feel the excitement and competitiveness of The Bird Era Celtics as they play through seasons and games.
