When the Game Was Ours Book by Larry Bird and Magic Johnson with Jackie MacMullan (NBA)

Don't miss this great opportunity to pick up this NBA basketball title! By Larry Bird (Boston Celtics) and Magic Johnson (Los Angeles Lakers), with Jackie MacMullan. A great read for any NBA basketball fan! From the back cover: "From the moment these two players took the court on opposing sides, they engaged in a fierce physical and psychological battle. Their uncommonly competitive relationship came to symbolize the most compelling rivalry in the NBA. In Celtic green was Larry Bird, the hick from French Lick, with laser-beam focus, relentless determination, and a deadly jump shot, a player who demanded excellence from everyone and whose caustic wit left opponents quaking in their high-tops. Magic Johnson was Mr. Showtime, a magnetic personality with all the right moves. Young, indomitable, he was a pied piper in purple and gold. And he burned with an inextinguishable desire to win. Their uncommonly competitive relationship came to symbolize the most thrilling rivalry in the NBA―East vs. West, physical vs. finesse, old school vs. Showtime, even white vs. black. Each pushed the other to greatness, and together Bird and Johnson collected eight NBA Championships and six MVP awards, helping to save a floundering NBA. At the start they were bitter rivals, but along the way they became lifelong friends. With intimate detail, When the Game Was Ours reveals for the first time the inner workings of two players dead set on besting each other. It is a compelling portrait of two giants of the game during professional basketball's best times." * Author: Jackie MacMullan * Publisher: First Mariner Books * Format: Paperback CONDITION: - Good (pre-owned) condition; with minor cover wear. - Lightly yellowed pages.
