A TALE OF 2 CITIES

THIS BOOK IS ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE LAKERS. IT STARTS IN MINNEAPOLIS AND ENDS IN LOS ANGELES. IT COVERS IN DETAIL THE MAGIC JOHNSON CONTROVERSY WITH HIV VIRUS AND MANY OTHER INTERESTING STORIES. I LIKED THIS BOOK FOR SEVERAL REASONS, WELL WRITTEN, DETAILED, RESEARCHED, AND SOME GREAT INTERVIEWS. YOU WILL FIND A LOT OF FACTS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT MANY OF THE PLAYERS IN LAKERS HISTORY AND ALOT OF FACTS BEHIND THE SCENES CONCERNING JERRY BUSS, JERRY WEST, AND JACK KENT COOKE. A MUST READ FOR ALL LAKERS AND NBA FANS.
