The behind-the-scenes story of one of professional basketball's most respected and beloved teams.
Outstanding overview of a team and a period in sports and cultural history
| Customer Rating: | I read Dynasty primarily because I am a fan of the Boston Celtics and given their recent championship thought this might make for a timely if somewhat self serving book trying to time the market right. Let me say that this is an excellent all around sports book that all fans of sports and people who think sports doesn't matter in our society should read.
The Celtics during their amazing dynasty of the 1960's took the old sports adage that they were a team and put it to truth. It didn't matter where you sat on the bench you were as equal to the success of the team as if your name were Cousy or Russell. The Celtics players did not see black versus white and socialized with each other because the guy next to them was a teammate nothing more. Dynasty shows that the team did exist in a bubble during this period but chose to fight their battles on the court and prove that blacks and whites can exist together at a time when the country wasn't sure they could.
I strongly recommend this book to anyone who wants to see how you succeed as a team and how ultimately the matters we can't control matter little next to those we can. |
