The Breaks of the Game

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Halberstam spent the 1979–80 season with the Portland Trail Blazers, just a few years after their 1977 championship. His inside account follows players, coaches, and front office through injuries, contracts, and a changing NBA shaped by money and television. Widely considered one of the finest books ever written about professional basketball.
