Reviews
"Over four decades at the Boston Globe , Dan Shaughnessy has chronicled (and critiqued) memorable Red Sox, Patriots, and Bruins championship teams. Still, for Shaughnessy, the Larry Bird Celtics of the mid-1980's stand apart. Yes, they were distinctively great. Yes, they were a very colorful group. An abundant source of material. But for the scribe, this was the key: He, and they, were essentially contemporaries. He hung with them, lost cash in free throw shooting contests with them, and experienced it all with the exuberance and fresh perspective of youth. This is the story of a great team, rendered in an immersive style. It's also a writer's coming of age story. Looking back on that team and time, it was Bill Walton who said, 'I wish it lasted forever.' He was speaking for the scribe as well." -- Bob Costas, 28-time Emmy Award-winning sportscaster, "Take a seat on the bus, kids, with Larry and Kevin, Chief and Max, DJ and KC, and Danny and Red and Bill Walton, too. Wish It Lasted Forever is retro gold... This is a special book about a special time. Terrific." -- Leigh Montville, former Senior Writer at Sports Illustrated

Synopsis
For fans of the hit basketball documentary The Last Dance , and from award-winning Boston Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy, a nostalgia-filled retelling of the Boston Celtics' 1980s dominance, which featured the sublime play of NBA legend Larry Bird. Today the NBA is a vast global franchise--a billion-dollar industry viewed by millions of fans in the United States and abroad. But it wasn't always this successful. Before primetime ESPN coverage, lucrative branding deals like Air Jordans, and $40 million annual player salaries, there was the NBA of the 1970s and 1980s--when basketball was still an up-and-coming sport featuring old school beat reporters and players wore Converse All-Stars. Enter Dan Shaughnessy, then the beat reporter for The Boston Globe who covered the Boston Celtics every day from 1982 to1986. It was a time when reporters travelled with professional teams--flying the same commercial airlines, riding the same buses, and staying in the same hotels. Shaughnessy knew the athletes as real people, losing free throw bets to Larry Bird, being gifted cheap cigars by the iconic coach Red Auerbach, and having his one-year-old daughter Sarah passed from player to player on a flight from Logan to Detroit Metro. Drawing on unprecedented access and personal experiences that would not be possible for any reporter today, Shaughnessy takes us inside the legendary Larry Bird-led Celtics teams, capturing the camaraderie as they rose to dominate the NBA. Fans can witness the cockiness of Larry Bird (who once walked into an All Star Weekend locker room, announced that he was going to win the three-point contest, and did ); the ageless athleticism of Robert Parish; the shooting skills of Kevin McHale; the fierce, self-sacrificing play of Bill Walton; and the playful humor of players like Danny Ainge, Cedric "Cornbread" Maxwell, and M.L. Carr. For any fan who longs to return--for just a few hours--to those magical years when the Boston Garden rocked, the LA Lakers were the perennial mountain to be climbed, and the winner's circle was mostly colored Boston Green, Wish It Lasted Forever is a VIP courtside seat and masterful tribute to the Larry Bird era and the Celtics' age of dominance., From award-winning Boston Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy, an "entertaining" ( The Wall Street Journal ) and nostalgia-filled retelling of the 1980s Boston Celtics' glory years, which featured the sublime play of NBA legend Larry Bird.
