Indy Cornrows has some transcribed quotes from a Larry Bird interview on Indianapolis radio regarding the Pacers' draft plans. Picking #11, most mocks have Bird selecting a point guard (D.J. Augustin, Russell Westbrook) or a potential-ridden big of some sort (DeAndre Jordan). In the interview, Bird reveals only that whomever Indy picks, it will be someone who can contribute immediately. (Cornrows notes that this could very well be some smoke.)

Bird also notes he has been watching tape on Nicolas Batum, though he couldn't tell you where he plays. He knows exactly where Beyoncé Knowles is ... or is not, actually.

[Host] Eddie [White]: Was Beyoncé there?

Larry: Uhh, well, if she was I probably would've seen her but I didn't see her.

Eddie: Oh boy, that's bad, go all the way to New York...if Jay-Z is sitting next to me, I would hope, because he's kind of ugly, I'd have love to have seen Beyoncé. She is strong, (Larry laughing) strong.

Larry: Yep, I'd agree with ya.

Larry Bird knows what he likes!
