Bought Jack McCallum's book on the 1992 US Dream Team


Bought the latest book from someone I idolize as a writer -- Jack McCallum of Sports Illustrated. His book Unfinished Business: On and off the court with the 1990-91 Boston Celtics has probably influenced more than any other sports book. His second NBA-themed book, 07 Seconds or less: My season on the bench with the runnin' and gunnin' Phoenix Suns was a wonderful return to pro hoops (and improves on what he started with Unfinished Business). When I read the excerpt of the new book, Dream Team, in Sports Illustrated, I got excited. Not just about reliving a great era but because I was eager to see how McCallum put things together. Got my copy of the book at Page One at Times Square in Hong Kong for HK$279 (Php1,526). Looking forward to reading the entire thing after which I will review it.

    1. I bought a book on marketing and some magazines. I got Nick Hornby's High Fidelity for my son.

  2. Thanks. I'm looking forward to your review of the book. I heard it's great.

    There is also a video celebrating the 20th year since the 92 Dream Team, right?
