Product Information
This "part memoir, part sports story" ( Wall Street Journal ) from the New York Times bestselling author of The Big Bam chronicles the clash of NBA titans over seven riveting games--Celtics versus Lakers, Russell versus Chamberlain--covered by one young reporter. Welcome to the 1969 NBA Finals! They don't set up any better than this. The greatest basketball player of all time - Bill Russell - and his juggernaut Boston Celtics, winners of ten ( ten! ) of the previous twelve NBA championships, squeak through one more playoff run and land in the Finals again. Russell's opponent? The fearsome 7'1" next-generation superstar, Wilt Chamberlain, recently traded to the LA Lakers to form the league's first dream team. Bill Russell and John Havlicek versus Chamberlain, Jerry West and Elgin Baylor. The 1969 Celtics are at the end of their dominance. The 1969 Lakers are unstoppable. Add to the mix one newly minted reporter. Covering the epic series is a wide-eyed young sports writer named Leigh Montville. Years before becoming an award-winning legend himself at The Boston Globe and Sports Illustrated , twenty-four-year-old Montville is ordered by his editor at the Globe to get on a plane to L.A. (first time!) to write about his luminous heroes, the biggest of big men. What follows is a raucous, colorful, joyous account of one of the greatest seven-game series in NBA history. Set against a backdrop of the late sixties, Montville's reporting and recollections transport readers to a singular time - with rampant racial tension on the streets and on the court, with the emergence of a still relatively small league on its way to becoming a billion-dollar industry, and to an era when newspaper journalism and the written word served as the crucial lifeline between sports and sports fans. And there was basketball - seven breathtaking, see-saw games, highlight-reel moments from an unprecedented cast of future Hall of Famers (including player-coach Russell as the first-ever black head coach in the NBA), coast-to-coast travels and the clack-clack-clack of typewriter keys racing against tight deadlines. Tall Men, Short Shorts is a masterpiece of sports journalism with a charming touch of personal memoir. Leigh Montville has crafted his most entertaining book yet, richly enshrining luminous players and moments in a unique American time.

Reviews
"No one writes like Leigh Montville, not now, not ever. He's part prince, part jester. In Tall Men, Short Shorts , a delightful Press Row memoir, he delivers in vivid colors the 1969 NBA Finals: the Celtics and Lakers, Russell and Wilt. The league was young then and is now a colossus. Montville was the bright young man then and now is wistful, ironic, and perceptive. To the great glory of this book, he was, and still is, our Montville." --Gary M. Pomerantz , author of The Last Pass: Cousy, Russell, the Celtics, and What Matters in the End "Has Leigh Montville ever suffered an off writing effort like the rest of us? If so, he never turned it in. Always matchlessly mesmerizing, his ingenious approach fashioning Tall Men, Short Shorts left it abundantly clear why I didn't think of it." --Peter Vecsey , former NBA columnist and NBC/TNT analyst "My Dad, bless him, took me to Game Six of the 1969 NBA Finals. Leigh Montville, bless him, has written Tall Men, Short Shorts about that series. Happy as I am to have been there, I am happier still to have read this feathery jumper of a book." --Mark Feeney , Pulitzer Prize-winning arts writer, The Boston Globe "Leigh Montville is too good a writer to settle for this metaphor but it happens to be true: he belongs on the Mount Rushmore of sports writers from the last 50 years. Part of the reason why is he always seems to be having more fun than anyone else typing at a keyboard. Tall Men, Short Shorts offers first-hand proof that's always been true, even when the keyboard in question was attached to an Olivetti Lettera 32 typewriter. Maybe especially then." --Mike Vaccaro , New York Post "No author is better than Montville when it comes to intimately introducing an audience to the heroes of American sport." --Ryan Russillo , host of the Ryan Russillo podcast and former ESPN Radio host "If this was a collection of Leigh Montville's grocery lists for the past 50 years, I'd read it. But he's exceeded that; he captures the emerging NBA at full throttle with bold face names on bold face teams. Montville is a national treasure among sportswriters." --Marty Appel , author of Munson, Casey Stengel and Pinstripe Empire. "Leigh Montville was beginning his career as the greatest sportswriter of his generation. Bill Russell was ending his run as the greatest champion of all. Montville's long-awaited memoir of the fortnight they spent bouncing between Boston and Los Angeles in pursuit of the 1969 NBA championship is funny, painful, heartbreaking, inspiring -- a story of ambition and nostalgia, and a past that matters every bit as much as the future." --Ian Thomsen , author of The Soul of Basketball
