1984 in Sports Part 1

We travel back 40 years to revisit 1984 in sports. In Part 1 we talk about a number of sports including hockey, the Olympics, and even pro wrestling. But the heart of this episode is basketball: from Patrick Ewing's Georgetown Hoyas to Bobby Knight's Gold Medical Olympic Team, to Bernard King's suprising Knicks. And of course, the classic '84 Finals between Magic's Lakers and Bird's Celtics. Enjoy and check out Part 2 soon!

Books to compliment this episode are almost too many to name. We mention several in the course of the episode, feel free to contact us if you'd like to know more!
