    Tom Whelan is a historian in Boston. Larry Bird and his teammates made Boston history three miles from his Boston University office. Together, in this book, they are a Dream Team of basketball (and cultural) history., A little remembered fact about the great Larry Bird dynasty with the Celtics is that only one of their three championship seasons included the defeat of the Los Angeles Lakers. Historian Thomas Whalen celebrates every part of that year in this riveting new book - the outsized drama, the on-court miracles, the everlasting impact. It's a book about a series, yes, but it's also a book about a league, a sport, and a culture, through exquisitely drawn characters that loom large some four decades later. All of it is a pure pleasure from a sports fanatic who happens to be a scholar., Thomas Whalen has written a wonderfully descriptive account of the career of Boston Celtics' star Larry Bird. In chapter 1, a chapter about 1984, he discusses Ronald Reagan, Michael Jackson, the Ghostbuster movie, Apple computers, Goose Gossage and Wayne Gretsky, and yes, Larry Bird. Whalen artfully describes important events and why they happened, and he gives us little-known facts about the likes of Red Auerbach, Bob Cousy, and Bill Russell. Did you know that Auerbach was a terrible driver? He dishes info about the rival Los Angeles Lakers as well. Did you know that Lew Alcindor could have signed with the New York Nets? Did you know that Bird couldn't stand playing for Bobby Knight at Indiana U? Did you know that Bird's trash-talking drove his opponents crazy? I couldn't get enough. I love history from the inside, and so will you., Tom Whalen is a historian in Boston. Larry Bird and his teammates made Boston history three miles from his Boston University office. Together, in this book, they are a Dream Team of basketball (and cultural) history., Dynasty Restored is more than a trip down memory lane - it is finely crafted narrative history that places the Boston Celtics' 1984 championship into a wider context. Best of all, it is stuffed with insightful profiles of the Celtics and their rivals, lending a personal dimension to an exciting story about sports, the city of Boston, and American culture in the 1980s., Tom Whalen knows how to tell a rollicking good tale. This is more than an account of one of the greatest rivalries in sports history, it is also a moving tale of what the Boston Celtics meant to their fans and a snapshot of a team that changed pro basketball forever. Whalen has a knack for finding meaning in the particulars of American life during the 1980s, not just on the basketball court but beyond. This book includes a colorful ensemble of larger than life characters, from Hall of Fame players to the reporters who covered them to the fans who bled Celtic green. This is a remarkably fun and insightful read.

    Synopsis
    Dynasty Restored is a fascinating exploration of the dramatic 1983-84 NBA season and the Boston Celtics' pursuit of the championship, led by the iconic Larry Bird. It was a year that turbocharged the game to record levels of popularity and paved the way for the league to become a global entertainment brand., A historic look at the fabled 1983-84 Boston Celtics and an unforgettable season. Ronald Reagan declares the Soviet Union an Evil Empire. The Apple Macintosh personal computer makes its debut. Michael Jackson's Thriller album dominates the pop charts. And Larry Bird and the Boston Celtics capture the NBA championship over Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and the Los Angeles Lakers. It was 1984, and for the NBA and the nation, the year was full of milestone moments. In Dynasty Restored: How Larry Bird and the 1984 Boston Celtics Conquered the NBA and Changed Basketball, Thomas J. Whalen explores this fascinating and dramatic season. The NBA had been struggling, seen as a minor sports league and suffering from poor attendance, lagging television ratings, and embarrassing drug scandals. The Celtics were beset by locker room turmoil, disruptive coaching, ownership changes, and underperforming stars. But Whalen reveals how that all changed when Bird and his fellow "Big Three" frontcourt teammates Kevin McHale and Robert Parish, along with newcomer Dennis Johnson, banded together to lift the venerable franchise to its fifteenth world championship and helped to transform the league into a global entertainment brand. Dynasty Restored offers insight into the personal barriers Larry Bird had to overcome to achieve NBA stardom, discusses the personal tensions that existed on the team between Bird and McHale, and gives a probing analysis of the unique pressures Black Celtics players faced in a post-Boston Busing Crisis environment. And it shows how this singular season turbocharged the Celtics and the professional game to unprecedented heights.
