BIRD WATCHING On Playing and Coaching the Game I Love

One of the greatest modern basketball players relates some of his experiences playing for the Boston Celtics and coaching the Indiana Pacers. He offers observations on players and coaches, game strategies, and the structure of the teams and league. The biography component is thin; Bird concentrates on the sport and tells it like it is with little rancor and great expertise. Reader Tom Stechschulte has a flat, almost gruff American voice that conveys authority, honesty, and insight, just the kind of intonation one imagines Larry Bird, a native of southern Indiana, to possess.
