About this title

From Library Journal:

The seeds for more than league growth were sown over two years ago when the NBA Expansion Committee awarded new franchises to the cities of Charlotte, Miami, Minneapolis, and Orlando: a new sports genre was also conceived, the "how-we-got-our-team" narrative. Following closely on the tar heels of the Charlotte saga, Joe Drape's In the Hornets' Nest ( LJ 11/1/89), is this story of the Orlando Magic scripted by general manager Williams, formerly of the Philadelphia 76ers. Whereas the Charlotte story is told from the perspective of an outsider looking in, Williams, the point guard in Orlando's quest for a franchise, details the machinations, intrigues, and manic mood swings over a three-year period from the inside out. Williams, who seemingly never met a cliche he didn't like (or use in this book), is nevertheless informative. Interesting, but not essential.
