For fans of the hit basketball documentary The Last Dance, and from award-winning Boston Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy, a nostalgia-filled retelling of the Boston Celtics 1980s dominance, which featured the sublime play of NBA legend Larry Bird.

Today the NBA is a vast global franchisea billion-dollar industry viewed by millions of fans in the United States and abroad. But it wasnt always this successful. Before primetime ESPN coverage, lucrative branding deals like Air Jordans, and $40 million annual player salaries, there was the NBA of the 1970s and 1980swhen basketball was still an up-and-coming sport featuring old school beat reporters and players wore Converse All-Stars.

Enter Dan Shaughnessy, then the beat reporter for who covered the Boston Celtics every day from 1982 to1986. It was a time when reporters travelled with professional teamsflying the same commercial airlines, riding the same buses, and staying in the same hotels. Shaughnessy knew the athletes as real people, losing free throw bets to Larry Bird, being gifted cheap cigars by the iconic coach Red Auerbach, and having his one-year-old daughter Sarah passed from player to player on a flight from Logan to Detroit Metro.

Drawing on unprecedented access and personal experiences that would not be possible for any reporter today, Shaughnessy takes us inside the legendary Larry Bird-led Celtics teams, capturing the camaraderie as they rose to dominate the NBA. Fans can witness the cockiness of Larry Bird (who once walked into an All Star Weekend locker room, announced that he was going to win the three-point contest, and )  the ageless athleticism of Robert Parish  the shooting skills of Kevin McHale  the fierce, self-sacrificing play of Bill Walton  and the playful humor of players like Danny Ainge, Cedric Cornbread Maxwell, and M.L. Carr.

For any fan who longs to returnfor just a few hoursto those magical years when the Boston Garden rocked, the LA Lakers were the perennial mountain to be climbed, and the winners circle was mostly colored Boston Green, is a VIP courtside seat and masterful tribute to the Larry Bird era and the Celtics age of dominance.
