Summary:
"The 1980s were a transformative decade for the
NBA
. Since its founding in 1946, the league had evolved from a bruising, earthbound
game
of mostly nameless, underpaid players to one in which athletes became household names for their thrilling, physics-defying play. The 1987
season
was the peak of that golden era, a year of incredible drama that featured a pantheon of superstars in their prime-the most Hall of Famers competing at one time in any given season-battling for the title, and for their respective legacies. In
When
the
Game
Was
War
, bestselling author Rich Cohen tells the colorful story of this incredible
season
through the four teams, and the four players, who dominated it: Larry Bird and the Boston Celtics, Magic Johnson and the Los Angeles Lakers, Isiah Thomas and the Detroit Pistons, and a young Michael Jordan and his Chicago Bulls. Taking the reader from rural Indiana to the southside of Chicago, suburban North Carolina to rust-belt Michigan, Cohen explores the diverse journeys each of these iconic players took before arriving on the big stage. Drawing from dozens of interviews with
NBA
insiders, Cohen brings to vivid life some of the most colorful characters of the era-like Bill Laimbeer, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Danny Ainge, and Charles Oakley-who fought like hell to help these stars succeed."--Publisher.
