Winning Time chronicles the rise of Larry Bird.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The latest episode of HBO's Winning Time: The Rise of The Lakers Dynasty depicts the backstory of NBA legend Larry Bird and his rise to stardom. Larry Bird's modest and rural upbringing and unusual salt-of-the-earth personality were directly contrasted with the flashiness of Magic Johnson and the Showtime Lakers.
Why Larry Bird Really Dropped Out Of Indiana University Winning Time season 2, episode 3 depicts a young Larry Bird dropping out of Indiana University after he had trouble finding his footing in an environment outside his hometown. This is consistent with the real-life Larry Bird, who left college in 1974 and became a trash collector in his hometown of French Lick, Indiana. Eventually, Bird attended Indiana State University where he made the NCAA Championship in 1979.
Bird would go on to play three seasons at Indiana State, which had an impressive 81-13 win-loss record while Bird was a member of the team. Indiana State had a remarkable 33-0 undefeated record in 1979 before reaching the 1979 NCAA Championship, a game the team ultimately lost. Over 94 total games at Indiana State, Bird averaged a team-leading 30.3 points, 13.3 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 2.3 steals per game.
