When Bird coached the Pacers we went to watch a few summer league games. My older son, who was around 10-11 at the time, waited by the locker room door for Bird to come out so he could get his autograph. I waited in the stands. He stood, waiting for a few minutes, while I watched from a distance. Finally, he gave up. Not only did he miss getting Bird's autograph, he also missed out on Moses Malone's, who was standing next to my son the whole time.
