In addition to having his face slapped on a backboard during the slam dunk contest, Indiana Pacers president Larry Bird has been voted the NBA’s Executive of the Year, becoming the first person to win that award, plus the league’s MVP and Coach of the Year honors. The Pacers went 42-24 and Bird’s moves to strengthen the team during the offseason included promoting Frank Vogel to head coach and signing starting power forward David West. Bird was a three-time MVP as a Boston Celtics player, then led his home-state Pacers to a 147-67 record in three seasons and their only finals appearance in 2000. Bird received 88 points and 12 first-place votes from a panel of his fellow team executives Wednesday. San Antonio’s R.C. Buford was second with 56 points.
