Famed and legnedary author David Halberstam dies in a car accident. To call David Halberstam a great sports writer fails to give him justice. Just consider the fact that he won a Pulitzer Prize at the age of 30. But Halberstam also was a great sportswriter! Like many Bulls' fans, I read his book "Playing for Keeps", among other Halberstam books still sitting on my shelves. John Feinstein has stated tht Halberstam's book "Breaks of the Game" an inside look at the 1979 Portland Trail Blazers served as his inspiration of his best selling book "A Season on the Brink."
