Russell's opponent? The fearsome 7' 1" superstar, Wilt Chamberlain, recently traded to the LA Lakers to form the league's first dream team. The 1969 Lakers are unstoppable. Montville, a young reporter covering the epic series, is writing about his luminous heroes, the biggest of big men, in an era when newspaper journalism and the written word served as the crucial lifeline between sports and sports fans. -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 796.32364 Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList
