Rob Warner reviewed Unfinished business by Jack McCallum
Review of 'Unfinished business' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
As a Celtics fan, I wanted this to end differently. Lie, Jack, lie! Tell me Larry's back healed, Kevin's ankle held up, and the season that started with so much promise didn't whimper out against the hated Pistons! I guess the good in this season was that it produced MJ's first ring, but reading about this season still hurt, and it reminded me that Bird's career ended far too soon, cut down by a creaky back.
Still, it was fun to relive the gradual end of LarryKevinRobert, and remember how great they really were. Also, to learn more about Kleine, Pinckney, Smith, Brown, Shaw, et al. These were the final bright days before some dreary times for the Celtics. McCallum's transcriptions of Bird's accent were kinda fun, too.
Still, Jack, you shoulda lied.
