Love the NCAA basketball tournament? Read about two of its most famous alumni in When the Game Was Ours by Larry Bird and Earvin Magic Johnson. From he book jacket: "When the Game Was Ours is a compelling portrait of two inimitable players across three decades. It is also a rollicking ride through professional basketball's best times."

Fans of the early 1970s Knicks might object to that last phrase, but the book does take a look at the life and times of two great basketball players.

Available at the Tottenville Library and other libraries of NYPL.
