The passing of Bill Walton left me thinking not only of my earliest memories of watching basketball (with Walton on the 1986 Celtics), but of all the terrific stories in Pulitzer Prize winner David Halberstam’s great book The Breaks of the Game.
Nice post, Kevin. David Halberstam was an incredible writer, certainly one of the best of his generation.
Sadly, his life was ended at the age of 73 in a traffic accident in northern California in 2007. In addition to The Breaks of the Game, another basketball book called Playing For Keeps was tremendous as well.
fantastic. can't wait to read!

Honestly, anything he wrote was worth reading.
I hope you're well.
