    • According to 4 sources
    Larry Bird was chosen by the Boston Celtics with the 6th overall pick in the 1978 NBA draft.
    Bird was drafted by the Celtics after his junior year at Indiana State (1978) but did not play professionally until the 1979–80 season, when he won the Rookie of the Year award after contributing to one of the largest single-season turnarounds in NBA history (a 32-win improvement).
    In 1978, the Boston Celtics and general manager Red Auerbach took what was perceived as a wild gamble at the time, by selecting NCAA junior Larry Bird with the 6th selection in the NBA Draft. It was risky because Bird could — and did — return to college, meaning he wouldn’t even be available until the 1979-80 season.
    In 1978, the Boston Celtics drafted a little-known junior eligible player from Indiana State named Larry Bird with the sixth pick in the first round.
