BLOCKBUSTER NBA SHOCKWAVE: Larry Bird, one of the most iconic figures in basketball history, has stunned the sports world with a historic gesture that cements his unshakable devotion to the city of Boston and the Celtics’ legacy. In a move that will be remembered for generations, Bird has donated a jaw-dropping **\$30.7 million** to spearhead the ongoing rebuilding and modernization of **TD Garden Stadium**, the hallowed home of the Boston Celtics.
The monumental contribution not only underscores Bird’s lifelong loyalty to the franchise but also signals a profound commitment to the city that embraced him during his legendary playing career. “Boston Celtics basketball pride lives within me,” Bird declared in a statement accompanying the announcement. “This is more than a donation—it’s a vow to protect, preserve, and elevate the spirit of Celtics basketball for future generations.”

“This is Larry being Larry,” one Celtics executive said. “He never left us, and today he proves that again. The Celtics’ legacy isn’t just in the banners hanging above the Garden—it’s in the heart of everyone who has worn the green. Larry Bird is the living embodiment of that spirit.”
