5.0 out of 5 stars
Nothing but net...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Forty-Eight Minutes: A Night in the Life of the N.B.A. (Hardcover)
A basketball game in the NBA is 48 minutes long, right? Wrong. There is so much more drama behind the scenes and so much more at stake than another victory in every NBA game that the average fan is never entitled to witness and experience but this book does the best job I've ever seen in taking you there. It doesn't hurt that a classic confrontation between the then-mighty Celtics and the upstart Cavaliers is the matchup taken into focus by this great literary effort of showing what life in the NBA is like (at least during the 1980s). No personal fouls here... just a sure shot for all basketball fans who are also bookworms at heart and are not limited to enjoying the game of basketball on the television or on the court. Like I said, nothing but net..
4.0 out of 5 stars
Ode to 'Mr.' Craig Ehlo...Pluto's best and Bob Ryan FINALLY did something right!,

This review is from: Forty-Eight Minutes: A Night in the Life of the Nba (Paperback)
Great synopsis encompassing some of the best
of alltime: Bird, Ehlo, Jones, McHale, Parish, Johnson, Wilkens et, al. Not just a game between the Celtics and Cavaliers back in Nineteen Eighty Seven. Jerry Sichting comes off well in here as well, his comments. Sichting from Indiana is to- day Kevin McHale's top Sgt. in Minnesota. |
