Sports aficionados will have a lot to read during the next few weeks. Two intriguing and controversial books will be in bookstores and libraries soon.
In his new book, Open: An Autobiography, tennis champion Andre Agassi writes about the ups and downs he's experienced throughout his life, from his marriage to actress Brooke Shields to his struggle with constant, crippling pain. Of course, that's not why his book is getting so much press. That's all because of the shocking admission Agassi makes in the book about doing crystal meth while still a professional tennis player.
Magic Johnson and Larry Bird (with the help of author Jackie MacMullan) have also penned a new book, When the Game Was Ours. In the book, the two lifelong friends write about their time in the NBA, when they were aggressive, competitive rivals.
Don't worry, this book has its own controversy. Magic Johnson reportedly accuses fellow NBA alum Isiah Thomas of starting rumors about his sexuality. Thomas recently found out about the book's claims and has publicly denied Johnson's accusations.
Sounds like these 2 books are going to be flying off the shelves.
When the Game Was Ours by Larry Bird and Earvin 'Magic' Johnson will be released on November 4th.
Open: An Autobiography by Andre Agassi will be out November 9th.
