1969. Bill Russell and his juggernaut Boston Celtics, winners of ten of the previous twelve NBA championships, squeak through one more playoff run and land in the Finals again. Russell's opponent? The fearsome 7' 1" superstar, Wilt Chamberlain, recently traded to the LA Lakers to form the league's first dream team. The 1969 Lakers are unstoppable. Montville, a young reporter covering the epic series,is writing about his luminous heroes, the biggest of big men, in an era when newspaper journalism and the written word served as the crucial lifeline between sports and sports fans. -- adapted from jacket
