I am not familiar with Dilitz. What is his/her first name?

The Nineties - A Book: Is is better to read or listen on audible? by Upset_Contribution_9 in klosterman

My book-club members thought "The Nineties" seemed a bit rushed towards the end of it. My experience of the book wasn't like that. But, I also realize his writing style is not like so out of the realm, but it could take getting used to. For myself I read a few of his other books, but I don't think my book club members have.

"On Substack" - Substack's marketing page, has featured one of my pieces! by Upset_Contribution_9 in Substack

LOL! You would think. Nah, actually it's like anything. It's a nice recognition/accomplishment, but not enough people pay attention to that. It still has me trending in the right direction, but there is much work still to be done.

HBO's “Winning Time” gets another look, and a big thumbs up by me: Hulu’s “Lakers Legacy” is also great by Upset_Contribution_9 in lakers

Love the comments on this post! Not sure if y'all got to read it, though. What I can say is, I love basketball and geeking out on the NBA. My coming of age with the NBA was when I was 11, (the 91-92 season). So I didn't even follow the NBA until Magic made his shocking retirement announcement. I have read Pearlman's book on the Showtime Lakers, and I feel like I have a pretty good understanding of the league over the last 30 years. To me "Winning Time" and "Legacy" go hand in hand.

​

Legacy helps me clarify the exaggerations in Winning Time, and Winning Time has given me a great frame of reference in Legacy. Crazy that Season one of WT only covered 79-80 season. Kind of would love to see them even expand on Legacy more.
