While Larry Bird may have been a fan of other sports, most biographies about him say that he gravitated towards Basketball as a kid, and continued to focus entirely on basketball throughout his athletic career-- in high school, college, and the NBA. There have been a few basketball players who tried to play other sports (for example, Michael Jordan tried to become a pro baseball player, but his efforts were unsuccessful); however Larry Bird decided at a young age to make basketball his life, and that is what he did-- first as a player, and then as a coach.
