Having grown up and watching basketball i just missed Magic and Larry in their prime. I remember lots of Jordan though. This book tells the story of the passion of 2 of the greatest team players of all time. Both becoming the face and savior of the NBA at that time. The eventually had to pass the torch to MJ but this book is about the road leading up to that. From playing in college through their many battles in the NBA championship. It even goes into great detail discussing when Magic told the world of his HIV prognosis.

I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys basketball because listening to two of the fiercest competitors discuss basketball made me want to lace up my sneakers and hit the courts.
