![]() Not only Bill Walton or Jack Ramsay are given a closer look, but also role players like Kermit Washington. Halberstam also uses his book for short biographies of individual players. He always managed to find connections to the 1979/80 season and used them to derive little stories about the history of an entire sport. ![]() Halberstam tells the story of the Portland Trail Blazers here and the story of the NBA as a whole. „Breaks of the Game“ however, is much more than the story of one season. After all, the Blazers had already won the NBA title in 1977 and Bill Walton had already left for the San Diego Clippers in 1979. ![]() That Halberstam chose that season may seem a bit odd at first glance. The book follows the 1979/80 season of the Portland Trail Blazers. Simmons, who wrote the foreword in this edition of Halberstam’s book, called it the best basketball book of all time. Anyone who has read The Book of Basketball by Bill Simmons has already become aware of „Breaks of the Game“ there. ![]()
