Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
From awardwinning Boston Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy, an entertaining (The Wall Street Journal) and nostalgiafilled retelling of the 1980s Boston Celtics glory years, which featured the sublime play of NBA legend Larry Bird.Today the NBA is a vast global franchisea billiondollar industry seen by millions of fans in the United States and abroad. But it wasnt always this successful. Before primetime ESPN coverage, lucrative branding deals like Air Jordans, and $40 million annual player salaries, there was the NBA of the 1970s and 1980swhen basketball was still an upandcoming sport featuring old school beat reporters and players who wore Converse AllStars.Enter Dan Shaughnessy, then the beat reporter for The Boston Globe who covered the Boston Celtics every day from 1982 to 1986. It was a time when reporters travelled with professional teamsflying the same commercial airlines, riding the same buses, and staying in the same hotels. Shaughnessy knew the athletes as real people, losing free throw bets to Larry Bird, being gifted cheap cigars by the iconic coach Red Auerbach, and having his oneyearold daughter Sarah passed from player to player on a flight from Logan to Detroit Metro.Drawing on unprecedented access and personal experiences that would not be possible for any reporter today, Shaughnessy takes us inside the legendary Larry Birdled Celtics teams, capturing the camaraderie as they dominated the NBA. Fans can witness the cockiness of Larry Bird (who once walked into an AllStar Weekend locker room, announced that he was going to win the threepoint contest, and did); the ageless athleticism of Robert Parish; the shooting skills of Kevin McHale; the fierce, selfsacrificing play of Bill Walton; and the playful humor of players like Danny Ainge, Cedric Cornbread Maxwell, and M.L. Carr.For any fan who longs to returnfor just a few hoursto those magical years when the Boston Garden rocked and the winners circle was mostly colored Boston Green, Wish It Lasted Forever is a masterful tribute to the Celtics from 19821986 [that] is so good even fervent Celtics haters will have trouble putting it down (New York Post).
