Corrie Bird is the first child of legendary basketball player and three-time NBA champion, Larry Bird and his ex-wife, Janet Condra. Corrie was born even before her dad started his NBA journey but due to the fractured relationship between her parents at the time of her birth, it has been an uphill task trying to establish warm relations with her father.<\/p>\n
The young lady is not taking no for an answer though and is determined to be close to her dad. She is also not letting her reality distract her from her own goals and is doing well both personally and professionally.<\/p>\n
Corrie Bird was born on the 14th day of August 1977 in the town of Brazil, Indiana. Her father is NBA legend, Larry Bird while her mother is a former mail carrier named Janet Condra. Corrie\u2019s parents both hail from the same town in Indiana and attended the same schools.<\/p>\n
They became friends at an early age and that friendship later became romantic. The two childhood sweethearts grew up with so much hope for what they were going to achieve together and their joy knew no bounds when Larry landed an athletic scholarship to the University of Indiana.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, Larry only spent just a month at the University of Indiana before he felt overwhelmed by his new environment. He returned back home and got a job as a garbage disposal truck driver. He and Janet also continued their romance.<\/p>\n
This period of uncertainty lasted for a couple of months before a coaching assistant at Indiana State University convinced Larry to come back to college basketball. He returned and by 1975, which was his freshman year at Indiana State, he and Janet officially wed.<\/p>\n
