When The Game Was Ours

Larry Bird. Magic Johnson. Basketball legends and legendary rivals, players who took their teams to championships and changed the way the game is played today. Now they've written a book together that gives a fascinating inside account of their careers in the NBA and their deep friendship: When the Game Was Ours by Larry Bird and Earvin "Magic" Johnson with Jackie MacMullan.
