So, I was digging into this whole Larry Bird and Janet Condra thing. I mean, Larry Bird, the basketball legend, right? Turns out, his first marriage was to this lady named Janet Condra. They were high school sweethearts, you know, the whole nine yards.
Met in High School
I started looking into how they even met. Found out they crossed paths back in high school, at Springs Valley High School in French Lick, Indiana. Can you imagine? High school sweethearts! They probably had no idea one of them was gonna be a basketball superstar.
Married Young
Next, I checked out when they tied the knot. Turns out, they got married in 1975. Larry was just 19! That’s like, really young. I was shocked. And, as it usually goes with these things, their marriage only lasted for about a year. Yeah, only a year. That was quick, even for a whirlwind romance.
Dug Into Janet’s Details
Then I got curious about Janet. Found out she was born in July 1956, also in Indiana. That makes her around 66 years old now. It’s kinda wild to think about how much time has passed. They were like, babies when they got married!
Compared Larry’s Later Life
I also found out that Larry later got married to someone named Dinah, and they’ve been together for like, 34 years. That’s a long time! They adopted two kids, too. It’s like, a whole different life after Janet. Kinda interesting how things turned out for him, right?
Reflected on Larry and Magic Johnson’s Friendship
Oh, and I also read about Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. Remember how they were like, huge rivals back in the day? Turns out, they became friends after doing a commercial together in 1987. Magic even said they used to hate each other because their teams were always competing. Funny how things change, huh?
So, that’s the scoop on Larry Bird and Janet Condra. It’s a story of young love, a quick marriage, and then, well, moving on to completely different lives. Pretty interesting stuff, if you ask me. Life is full of surprises, ain’t it?
