Rebound! (Hardcover)

Description:

Boston Herald reporter Michael Connelly`s intriguing history of Boston and basketball credits Larry Bird with rescuing more than the Celtics franchise. Bird`s amazing basketball career has been well-chronicled, particularly the story of how a young kid from Indiana returned the Celtics to championship caliber virtually overnight. According to Connelly, the return of the Celtics to glory, led by multi-ethnic stars such as Bird, Robert Parish, Kevin McHale, and Denis Johnson, helped the city heal from racial strife, which had threatened to tear the town apart a few years earlier. Beginning with legend Bill Russell, who battled racism and segregation throughout his time with the team, Connelly provides a piercing parallel history of a city`s social turmoil and a team`s return to glory.
