Connor Bird may not be as famous as his basketball legend father, Larry Bird, but he has made headlines over the years. From his arrest for an altercation with his ex-girlfriend to his philanthropic endeavors, Connor Bird's life has been anything but ordinary. This blog post will tell you about his early life, education, legal troubles, and achievements.

Connor Bird:

Connor Bird, the adopted son of legendary NBA player Larry Bird and his wife Dinah, was born in 1992. Growing up in a family with a strong passion for basketball, Connor showed an early interest in the sport and played on his high school team. After graduating, he went on to attend Indiana University, where he continued to pursue basketball while studying psychology. In addition to his time in Indiana, Connor spent part of his childhood in Naples, Florida, where he had the opportunity to bond with his father over their shared love of basketball.

Her Sister: Corrie

After graduating from Indiana University with a degree in Tourism, Hospitality, and Event Management, Connor Bird's half-sister, Corrie, began her career as an intern at PS&E. Excelling in her role, Corrie later became an event coordinator and special projects coordinator for the company. While Corrie pursued her career, her relationship with her father, Larry Bird, was strained due to a paternity dispute. Larry's lawyers requested a paternity test, but the results did not come back until after Corrie was already a toddler, and the two had little time to bond before she grew up.

Controversies And Arrest:

In 2013, Connor Bird, the lesser-known son of basketball legend Larry Bird, made headlines when he was arrested for an altercation with his ex-girlfriend at Indiana University. The incident allegedly involved Connor trying to hit his ex-girlfriend with his car, throwing his cell phone at her, and possessing marijuana. He was later charged with three misdemeanors: criminal recklessness with a vehicle, possession of marijuana, and battery. During the trial, it was reported that the argument began when Connor's ex-girlfriend exited his car, and he allegedly attempted to run her over. Despite claiming it was an accident, Connor was found guilty of criminal recklessness and sentenced to 100 hours of community service. The incident brought unwanted attention to the Bird family.

In 2014, a year after the incident where he allegedly tried to run over his ex-girlfriend, Connor Bird again found himself in legal trouble. This time, he was accused of criminal recklessness after driving at high speed toward another former girlfriend, causing her to jump out of the way. As part of a deferred sentencing agreement, Connor pleaded guilty to the charge and was given a 12-month compliance agreement. The agreement included participating in a mentoring program, completing required treatment and counseling, and committing no further crimes. If he completed the agreement, the case against him would be dismissed. This incident was not the first time Connor had trouble with the law, as he was previously charged with disorderly conduct and illegal consumption of alcohol in 2011. However, the case was resolved through Monroe County's pre-trial diversion program.

Conclusion: 

Despite his legal troubles, Connor Bird has moved on to create a positive impact through his philanthropic endeavors. As the son of a basketball legend, Connor may have big shoes to fill, but he is carving out his path and making a name for himself.
