Acerca de este título
From the New York Times bestselling author of Charlie Hustle and Fly Girls comes “a wonderfully entertaining and meticulously researched look at one of the most intriguing and important basketball stories of the past 50 years” (Christine Brennan, New York Times bestselling author): the improbable rise of Larry Bird and the Indiana State Sycamores.
In the fall 1974, Larry Bird—one of the greatest players to ever pick up a basketball—was lost, and in danger of slipping away.
He had dropped out of Indiana University, spurning legendary Hoosiers head coach Bobby Knight. He returned home to French Lick, a tiny town in the second poorest county in Indiana, and he got a job hauling trash.
It could have been the end of Bird’s basketball career right there were it not for two men: Bob King, an old coach with bad knees, and Bill Hodges, a man who knew what it was like to be poor and overlooked. They convinced Bird to leave French Lick and play basketball at Indiana State University, then built a team of players around him: they were castoffs and leftovers, ready to work. Four years later, in March 1979, this unheralded team would put together one of the greatest seasons in American sports history.
“Deeply research and beautifully written” (Jonathan Eig, Pulitzer Prize winner) and drawing on exclusive, in-depth interviews with players, coaches, and staffers, Heartland offers a stirring account of Bird and the mighty Indiana State Sycamores. It’s the story of a group of young men who achieved the greatest feat of all: immortality.

Reseñas de la crítica
"A fine marriage between talented narration and solid writing."
"The author, whose forte is sports biographies, extensively researched Larry Bird’s upbringing through his time at Indiana State. Rather than being a definitive biography of Bird, the audiobook is a fascinating, comprehensive portrait of the basketball star and the people around him in his formative years. Ellen Adair narrates with just the right touch of emotion, letting the story dictate the pacing. She varies her tones throughout her narration, creating an image of the places where Bird grew up, the courts he played on, the school he put on the map."
