The 1980s were a transformative decade for the NBA. The 1987 season was the peak of that golden era, a year of incredible drama that featured a pantheon of superstars in their prime - the most Hall of Famers competing at one time in any given season - battling for the title, and for their respective legacies. Rich Cohen tells the story of this incredible season through the four teams, and the four players, who dominated it: Larry Bird and the Boston Celtics, Magic Johnson and the Los Angeles Lakers, Isiah Thomas and the Detroit Pistons, and a young Michael Jordan and his Chicago Bulls.
