    LBJ's Journey to the Crown
  

*by O***S on Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2017*

Brian Windhorst has always been the acknowledged LeBron James Whisper. Having attended high school with LBJ, and then covering him with the Akron Beacon Journal, the Cleveland Plain Dealer and now ESPN, Windhorst arguably has seen more games of LBJ in person than anybody else.  Even LBJ tells people that Brian is the person who remembers everything about his past and can chronicle it for them.Dave McMenamin brings a different element than Windhorst, a fresh set of eyes to the whole LBJ experience.  McMenamin also writes with more emphasis upon the x and o's of basketball.Put these two top-tier NBA writers together with unfiltered access to GM David Griffin, Coach Ty Lue, agent Rich Paul and LBJ himself and you have the best insiders account of a NBA team since David Halberstam's late 70's classic on the Portland Trailblazers, The Breaks of the Game.The books opens with a detailed look at the month preceding LBJ's return to Cleveland.  So unexpected is it that Dan Gilbert and the Cavs have no problem with leasing out Quicken Loans Arena for the Republican National Convention in 2016 because they do not plan on being in the playoffs (which is why Mark Cuban said "no" when asked about the American Airlines Center in Dallas).  LeBron doesn't even tell D Wade after he had made his decision. The only person who was given the heads-up that something might be cooking was SI's Lee Jenkins.The book is a star making turn for David Griffin.  He trusts his instincts at all times, navigating the middle road between LBJ and owner Dan Gilbert, but agreeing over time with LBJ' s quick accessment  (although unspoken) that David Blatt was not the right man for the coaching job.LBJ is driven perfectionist who can be passive-aggressive when sending texts or glances to teammates.  LBJ models Michael Jordan. Kyrie models Kobe. Kevin Love is caught between alpha dog expectations and being the third option on the team.In the end, the entire team bonds together with bit players such as Channing Frye and Richard Jefferson playing major parts in keeping everybody loose.  The Block, the Shot and the Stop are explained in detail. The book ends with the King fulfilling his promise to the Land.

    A Fantastic Story and Great Sports Reporting
  

*by T***D on Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2017*

A great read that's full of interesting information that wasn't available to the general public. Brian and Dave fill in the missing pieces that weren't reported or even known by them until they pried it out of the players, coaches, and executives of the Cavs after they won the championship. Brilliant investigative work done when everyone involved with the Cavs were basking in the glow of being the hometown heroes and had let their guard down. Real fans of the Cavs probably know about 50 percent of the information in the book, but having it put in chronological order and, as I already said, filling in the holes with missing information, makes it must reading.
