Love the Bird-Magic 1980s ( )

Having grown up and watching basketball i just missed Magic and Larry in their prime. I remember lots of Jordan though. This book tells the story of the passion of 2 of the greatest team players of all time. Both becoming the face and savior of the NBA at that time. The eventually had to pass the torch to MJ but this book is about the road leading up to that. From playing in college through their many battles in the NBA championship. It even goes into great detail discussing when Magic told the world of his HIV prognosis.

I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys basketball because listening to two of the fiercest competitors discuss basketball made me want to lace up my sneakers and hit the courts. ( )

I really enjoyed this book. It provides a unique insight into Bird, Johnson, their relationship and the NBA of the 1980s. If you are a basketball fan over the age of 40, you will probably enjoy this as much as I did. If you are younger, I recommend trying to watch some of those finals games between the Lakers and Celtics in the 80s first, then read the book.
