Magic Johnson and Larry Bird are known as two of the most successful basketball players of all time, but When the Game was ours reveals the two stars’ misfortune and major obstacles.
As the reader, I have been “stuck” into this book while the author does a fantastic job balancing out the plot. The author does an amazing job bringing me into the book by starting with a conflict that Larry Bird had to face at the end of his high school years. The readers are sent through numerous conflicts as they achieve their biggest goals, NCAA championships and an NBA title.Įven though Bird and Johnson have been credited the author of this amazing book, we can see that it is MacMullan’s book as we see that most of it is written in third person. From the end of their high school years to the college games between Indiana State and Michigan State, and ending with their final professional basketball games, they have been in a competition. The book takes us behind the scenes of both players’ progression in the game of basketball. When the Game was ours takes us into the famous rivalry between the two best basketball players of all time in Larry Bird and Magic Johnson.
