Hi! Today I’m really exited with writing here. Yesterday I visited the great Converse and Dime Magazine party hold in Manhattan’s Lower East Side. The event was devoted to the “Heaven is a Playground” book thirty-fifth anniversary. You know that Barack Obama himself told it was his favorite basketball book of all times.

“There were no cell phones, no laptops, no disco, and the Internet wasn’t even a word,” Telander, a former SI senior writer, writes in the introduction to a new edition of Heaven, released last week by Bison Books. “But the people were the same, and so were their dreams…. [And] by God, there was basketball. I promise you that.”
