Review
"Finally--a book that tells the story of Magic and Larry from their vantage point. When the Game Was Ours took me inside their fascinating rivalry with new insights and revealing details about two men who evolved from bitter competitiors into lifelong friends." (Denzel Washington )
Product Description
In this remarkable collaboration, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson open up exclusively to veteran sports columnist Jackie MacMullan to provide the definitive, revelatory, and wholly entertaining account of their decades-long rivalry.
From the moment these two legendary 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, both from an individual and team standpoint. These were the basketball epics of the 1980s--Celtics vs Lakers, East vs West, physical vs finesse, Old School vs Showtime, even white vs black.
With intimate, fly-on-the-wall detail, WHEN THE GAME WAS OURS transports readers to the electric era of basketball and reveals for the first time inner workings of two players dead set on besting one another. It is a rollicking ride through professional basketball's best times, the golden age of hoops for the boomer generation.
