1989-91 Larry Bird Boston Celtics Contract

Sports Memorabilia

This unexecuted eight-page contract from 1989-91 offers a fascinating glimpse into the NBA during the late 1980s and early 1990s, centered on Boston Celtics legend Larry Bird. The agreement outlines a salary of $900,000 per season for Bird during the latter stages of his Hall of Fame career, an amount that would equate to roughly forty times that figure in today’s NBA economy. Three pages are dedicated to the 1989 season and another three to the 1990-91 season, each detailing the same compensation structure. The contract also includes two promissory notes, one for each season, further enhancing its historical and collectible significance.
