This book is largely a recap of games during the Lakers's 1987 championship season, with some interesting paragraphs on their rivalry with the Celtics. Though it is billed as an "inside" view, and written by the Lakers's coach, there are few insider revelations and too frequent recounting of now common anecdotes. A disappointment, reserved for hard-core Lakers fans. For libraries with large sports collections. Joseph W. Constance, Jr., Boston Coll. Libs.
