After averaging 28.7 points, 10.5 rebounds and 6.6 assists in 80 regular season games, Bird was rewarded with his second straight MVP Award. And the MVP would lead his Celtics to a 63-win season and an eventual appearance in the '85 Finals.
Unfortunately, the Celtics lost to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and company, but Bird still managed .238 win shares per 48 and a league-best 15.7 win shares in an absolutely amazing season.
