This event will be a double dose of basketball awesomeness!!! In The Boston Globe Story of the Celtics, Chad Finn has compiled the best historical articles about the Green Team, up through Banner 18 that the team won this year! Much like his similarly great first book, The Boston Globe Story of the Red Sox, this is a must-have historical account of the NBA's winningest franchise, and a supremely great gift for any Celtics fan this holiday season.We'll also be celebrating the second book from Mirin Fader. Mirin achieved national prominence and acclaim with her first book, the New York Times-bestselling biography, Giannis, about Milwaukee Bucks superstar and NBA champion Giannis Antetokounmpo. While Giannis will definitely go down as one of the NBA's greatest players, Mirin's subject for her second biography, Hakeem Olajuwon, was even better, and remains one of the 10-15 best basketball players of all-time. Mirin conducted 266 interviews for Dream, which not only traces Olajuwon's journey before, during, and after his time in the NBA, but how his journey helped fuel the rise of basketball in Africa.
Taken together, these are two of the best sports books that will be published in 2024, and we're thrilled to host this evening of basketball fun!
