Michael Holley...skillfully tells the story of how Danny Ainge, who became the Celtics' honcho in 2003, shrewdly acquired two superstars--Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett--to team with Paul Pierce.... Mr. Holley is good both on these disparate personalities and the nuances of the sport; as an NBA tick-tock, his book is right up there with David Halberstam's classic The Breaks of the Game. --The Wall Street Journal [A] fascinating behind-the-scenes account... Holley includes many revelations.... This clear-eyed look at the vicissitudes of professional sports will appeal even to those who don't bleed Celtic green. --Publishers Weekly
