Correct on the first two, the last was Larry Bird. (One-on-One was a computer basketball game from the early 80s.)
I briefly had the urge to come up with a clue for David Niven, before I realized that in spite of the symmetry of having him as the third after Larry David and Larry Niven, his name tragically lacks an L.
