by Andy Grachuk (Author), Steven a. Roseboro (Author)
In "The Golden Age of Basketball - Volume I" Sports Photojournalist Steven A. Roseboro presents a words-eye view of the most exciting Decade in the History of the NBA, the Eighties. The Book chronicles the remarkable rivalry between Earvin "Magic" Johnson's Los Angeles Lakers and Larry Bird's Boston Celtics, who won a combined 8 of 10 NBA Championships in the Decade. The competitive excellence of Bird vs. Magic changed the landscape of the league and laid the foundation for the global explosion of Professional Basketball. Volumes I (1979-1984) and II (1985-1989) feature over 500 action photos as Bird, Magic, the Ageless Kareem Abdul Jabbar, the Spectacular Julius "Dr. J" Erving, and Isiah Thomas' Bad Boy Detroit Pistons all battled for League supremacy. Volume I also profiles Hall of Famers Moses Malone, Robert Parish, Kevin McHale, James Worthy and George Gervin, who left their indelible imprints on the Decade. Relive Magic Johnson's "Magical" 42 point, 15 rebound, 7 assist masterpiece in Game 6 of the 1980 NBA Finals, Larry Bird leading the 1981 Celtics back to their customary perch atop the NBA, the go-go World Champion Lakers of 1982, Moses Malone's "Fo-Fo-Fo" Philadelphia 76ers bringing Julius Erving his first NBA title, and the emotionally charged 1984 NBA Final, a seven game classic first meeting between Bird's Celtics and Magic's Lakers. Boston's hard-earned title sets the stage for Volume II, introducing the NBA and the world to the player taken second in the 1984 NBA Draft, the man that would take the game from the floor to above the rim, Michael Jordan.
