Larry Bird said in a press conference on Friday morning that he thinks the Pacers will get better once someone steps up and becomes the leader of the team, according to The Indianapolis Star.

"I don?t think we have what I call a great leader in that locker room," Bird said during the news conference. "Players will say, 'Come on, I?m a leader.' No, it?s not there . .. Until we have that, we will struggle at times. There?s no question about that. As far as a leader, no, we don?t have that."
