This has got to be one of the most unusual things to happen in a court room in a long time.


Quote:
The lawyers reached a plea agreement Tuesday for a 30-year term for a man accused of shooting with an intent to kill and robbery. But Eric James Torpy wanted his prison term to match Bird's jersey
number 33.

"He said if he was going to go down, he was going to go down in Larry Bird's jersey," Oklahoma County District Judge Ray Elliott said Wednesday. "We accommodated his request and he was just as
happy as he could be.

I love Larry Bird, but I can't think he's in any way proud of that.
