Breaks of the Game - has been rereleased
So check it out. Amazon has the book on sale. For those who don't know it was a book recommended by Dave way back when as good reading. It covers the change and growth of the NBA and connects it to Walton in the Post Championship years.
I actually had to purchase the original print two years ago, which ran me a pretty penny, so it's nice to see that it's been rereleased. If you're a basketball nut and blazer nut, you should check it out.
Either way, I'm amused that a book that looked like it was sinking into obscurity has resurrected itself and I'm also wonder if the promotion by Dave had anything to do with that.

A Must, Must Read!
I read it a few weeks ago, and this book is just fantastic! I highly reccomend reading it and Matt Love’s selection, “Red Hot and Rolling.”

Not just any Blazer fan
but any NBA fan should read this. So much good stuff about race relations in the NBA, the player-owner dynamics, intra-team relationships, pretty much everything. It’s especially great now that players are so sanitized about their images that this kind of access is unrealistic these days.
