FILE - In this May 15, 2014, file photo, Indiana Pacers president Larry Bird watches the warm up for Game 6 of an Eastern Conference semifinal NBA basketball playoff series against the Washington Wizards, in Washington. Bird is stepping down as president of basketball operations for the Indiana Pacers, a stunningly abrupt move even for an NBA legend known for making swift decisions. Bird made the call on Friday, April 28, 2017, and general manager Kevin Pritchard will be elevated to take his place, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team has not announced the move, which was first reported by Yahoo! Sports. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon, File)
