Critics Review
“Michael Holley…skillfully tells the story of how Danny Ainge, who became the Celtics’ honcho in 2003, shrewdly acquired two superstars–Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett–to team with Paul Pierce…. Mr. Holley is good both on these disparate personalities and the nuances of the sport; as an NBA tick-tock, his book is right up there with David Halberstam’s classic The Breaks of the Game.”–The Wall Street Journal
”[A] fascinating behind-the-scenes account… Holley includes many revelations…. This clear-eyed look at the vicissitudes of professional sports will appeal even to those who don’t bleed Celtic green.“–Publishers Weekly
