Unfinished Business Jack McCallum chronicles this crucial and exciting year in the history of one of the most successful sports franchises ever. It was to be a year of dramatic transition for this basketball dynasty, both behind the scenes and on the court. McCallum was there for it all--from the back-room draft day planning, where Red Auerbach no longer dominated the decision making, to Dee Brown's traumatic experience with the Boston police and his subsequent love affair with the Boston fans after he won the slam-dunk contest, and the Celtics ill-fated play-off drive, culminating in Bird's heroic and unforgettable playoff effort.
McCallum shows the players as they are rarely seen: the bantering and practical joking in the locker room, with McHale usually in the middle; the awkward relationship that Bird and McHale have forged to try and win another championship; and the story of the modern basketball players, young and old, as they rev up their sometimes injured bodies to take on grueling schedules.
