Bird chimes in

Posted by Gary Dzen, Boston.com Staff June 18, 2008 04:53 PM

Celtics legend and current Pacers executive Larry Bird released a statement today on his former franchise:

"I'm happy for the Celtics and the city of Boston," said Bird. "I know what it means to win a championship as a Celtic and the place championships hold in the history of the franchise. I'm also pleased for Danny Ainge, Doc Rivers and his staff, knowing where they were last year and then making the decisions to put them in position to win the team’s 17th title."
