I mentioned to the original poster a few you all should know about:

Cousy on the Celtic Mystique.  Written at the twilight of the bird era, but
brilliant and absolutely free of bullshit.  Nobody is more candid than Cousy.
 (even when he's saying, "can moesha find her secret admirer?  find out on
Moesha, on ubs...")

Red's last book.  I think it has "hard court" in the title.  really good,
like the Cousy book.  Mostly stuff you've heard him say, but worth rereading
many times.

The Last Shot, by Darcy Frey.  Great book, right up there with The Breaks of
the Game and Pete Axhelm's The City Game.  About talented high schoolers in
coney island, including one Stephon Marbury.

Dont read the Selling of the Green.  It's disgusting, just vile.  all made
up.

The author of the Bird book, also terrible, is Lee Daniel Levine, not Devine.
 You learn more about bird in Unfinished Business and 48 Minutes.  

Walton's book is pretty good.  More about UCLA than the celtics.  The Last
Banner I thought very disappointing.  It's all Walton, as if Peter May only
bothered interviewing bill.  Weak.

Has anyone read The Big Three?  That's the one I want.  Also, Tommy H's book?
