When the Game Was Ours--#70 finished

This is a book by Larry Bird & Earvin Magic Johnson with Jackie MacMullan.  Talks about Larry & Magic and their growing up, college years, NBA years, Dream Team and then a few years after they retired.  Interesting reading about the two players & how were really cold rivals for years but came to warm up & become friends over time.  I was a Dr J guy and the 76ers when family watched games in 1980s, one brother was sort of a Celtics fan and other brother was Lakers fan.  Remember watching these games and really wanting my team to win--at least the 76ers got one title during this time but otherwise it was Celtics & Lakers.  This is a good and enjoyable read, brought back a lot of memories.  Not much of an NBA fan today though.

There are no copies in PBS system but don't see a need to post it either.  Will hold onto it for now.
