David Halberstam: 1934-2007
As a writer (and I use the term "writer" loosely, especially today), I'd be remiss if I didn't acknowledge the life and death of one of the greats of our time, David Halberstam. When I was maybe ten years old I read The Breaks Of The Game, which featured an in-depth look at an entire season of the Portland Trail Blazers. At the time I didn't know Halberstam wasn't specifically a sportswriter but a man who covered a wide variety of topics. And everything I have read from his pen was written exceptionally.
Rest easy, sir. You did some great work.
