Every year a new champion is crowned in the world of professional
basketball. But few seasons feature a champion that has countless
ups and downs, key coaching and player changes, dominating
defensive play, and one player who is criticized heavily early in
the season that later becomes a hero, making one of the greatest
plays in team history.
Detroit experienced all these things during the 2003-2004 season
and along with it, won the team's third ever championship. David
Lawless was there, like he always is every year, following this
team at the arena; on TV; even occasionally on the road. It's quite
clear that he has "The Fever."
In "The Fever," Lawless chronicles what it's like to be a fan of
a team that plays such an exciting style and ends up winning the
game's ultimate prize. True fans of the team and true fans of the
sport itself, will relate to his use of first names, always, when
describing the players and the exclamations of emotion that come
out during the middle of a big playoff game. Each game is discussed
in the same language and expressions that fans use.
They're all here: each and every game analyzed like a coach
would, but described with the passion of a true fan.
