:wacko: :wacko:

A man got a prison term longer than prosecutors and defense attorneys had agreed to because of Larry Bird.

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.

Hey, what's three extra years after you done 30 already? Doesn't matter, he'll be out in 5 with good behavior.

I'm sure Bird is thrilled to have fans like that!

It's a shame Bird did not wear the number 70
