Larry Bird on Lance Stephenson

Lance Stephenson has to have some kind of personal revelation this summer, or he's going to waste a precious gift.

"When he's playing, he's fine and has as much talent as anybody on this team," Bird said. "He's a long shot, but he's my ace in the hole. If we can get him to grow up, he knows how to play . . .

"I know he's a pain in the ass and the guys in the locker room get frustrated with him, but I'm not giving up on him. Unless he does something crazy."
