2× NBA Finals MVP (1984, 1986)
3× NBA Most Valuable Player (1984–1986)
12× NBA All-Star (1980–1988, 1990–1992)

NBA Rookie of the Year (1980)
3× NBA 3-Point Shootout champion (1986–1988)

And that was against Magic, Kareem, Jordan

Bird would go on to win NBA Rookie of the Year honors. The Celtics improved by 32 games, which was the best single-season turnaround in NBA history.
