The Golden Age of Basketball - Volume II by Steven A. Roseboro
continues the retrospective of one of the greatest Decades in NBA
History; Volume 2 begins with the seminal NBA Draft of Michael
Jordan, Akeem Olajuwon, Charles Barkley and John Stockton, followed
by Jordan and Patrick Ewing leading the 1984 United States Olympic
Basketball Team to the Gold Medal in Los Angeles. In the 1985
Laker-Celtic NBA Championship rematch Superstars Bird and Magic
were upstaged by ageless wonder Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, whose MVP
performance at age 38 led the Lakers to their first Championship
victory vs. the Celtics in 9 tries. Bird's Celtics would regain the
Title in 1986, only to watch Magic storm back in 1987 & 1988 to
lead the Lakers to the first Back-to-Back NBA Championships since
Bill Russell's Celtics in 1969. The next wave of NBA Superstars
took their place at the end of the Decade, led by the incredible
Jordan, the MVP of the 1988 season. Gritty Isiah Thomas would close
out the Eighties by leading his blue-collar "Bad Boys," the Detroit
Pistons to the Franchise's first NBA title in 1989. These brilliant
performances by future Hall of Famers Magic, Bird, Kareem, Isiah,
Jordan, Olajuwon, Barkley, Karl Malone, John Stockton, Patrick
Ewing, Dominique Wilkins and Clyde Drexler are captured by Mr.
Roseboro on over 100 action photos where you can reach out and
touch the intensity of the competition .
