The Herd with Colin Cowherd

Larry Bird has one of the most unlikely paths to superstardom in the history of the National Basketball Association. On today's episode, New York Times best-selling author Keith O'Brien explains just how preposterous Bird's rise was. From southern Indiana nobody to legendary basketball icon, O'Brien lays it all out in his freshly-released book HEARTLAND: A FORGOTTEN PLACE, AN IMPOSSIBLE DREAM, AND THE MIRACLE OF LARRY BIRD.

Fellow best-selling author Chad Millman and professional gambler Simon Hunter ask O'Brien about the adventures he took to write his latest book, building trust with Larry Bird's inner circle as he familiarized himself with the tiny community of French Lick, Indiana firsthand. We also hear about Bird's wild journey from blue blood Indiana University to also-ran Indiana State, and the serendipitous events that led to his fabled 1979 NCAA Finals matchup against Magic Johnson and eventual NBA arrival with the Boston Celtics. #Volume
