When Bird pulled down 24 rebounds against Iowa on March 17, 1956, it set a school record for the NCAA Tournament—a postseason record that still stands today. 61 years to the day after Bird’s historic game, Bam Adebayo pulled down 18 rebounds against Northern Kentucky during UK’s most recent NCAA Tournament run. According to Steve Bird, Bird’s son, Bird received numerous calls and texts from friends and family informing him that he was still the record holder.
Bird was a well-known figure in Corbin, as were his three brothers, Calvin, Rodger, and Billy. Bird’s three brothers all attended UK to play football, and both Calvin and Rodger are inducted into the UK Athletics Hall of Fame.
