About This Audiobook

Golden Days is a masterful exploration of the NBA's golden age, as Jack McCallum delves into the lives of two dominant teams: the Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors. The audiobook is a veritable time capsule, transporting listeners to the early 1970s, an era marked by cultural upheaval, social change, and the dawn of professional sports as we know it today. McCallum's narrative is a deftly woven tapestry of storytelling, drawing on meticulous research and firsthand accounts to bring these iconic teams and their players to vivid life. The result is a sweeping narrative that is at once a love letter to the game of basketball and a nuanced exploration of the complexities that shaped the era.

Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I embarked on this audiobook journey with high expectations, and Jack McCallum's Golden Days far exceeded them. McCallum's narrative is a work of art, one that skillfully balances the personal and the historical to craft a story that is both deeply human and broadly resonant. The audiobook's pacing is expertly managed, hurtling along at a breakneck speed that makes it hard to hit pause (and I found myself doing just that, again and again, to savor key moments and quotes).
