Through deft reporting, he takes you behind the scenes from Terre Haute, Indiana, to East Lansing, Michigan, and on to the famous championship round in Salt Lake City. Best of all, though, Davis captures Larry Bird and Earvin 'Magic' Johnson as the young basketball genuises they were, basketball's yin and yang, equal but opposing forces who would transform the game. This is a fine piece of work. --<i>Mark Kriegel</i></p> There are only a few perfect combinations in the world. Peanut butter on toast, scotch on ice, and Seth Davis on basketball. --<i>Rick Reilly</i></p>
