=**Excerpt from //Golden Days: West's Lakers, Steph's Warriors, and the California Dreamers//, by Jack McCallum**=

This new book by long-time //Sports Illustrated// basketball writer Jack McCallum is about the current Steph Curry-led NBA champion Golden State Warriors and a simlar great Los Angeles Lakers team of the past. The common thread in the two teams is the great guard Jerry West, a superstar player on the Lakers in those days who helped the Warriors team in these days. (The book just came out on Oct. 24, 2017.)

The short excerpt here is on Steph Curry's incredible ability to make shot after shot from long range. The assignment sheet refers you to a short highlight video of Curry making those kinds of shots. Please read the short excerpt and take notes. Use it to help yourself think of questions you'd like to ask Mr. McCallum in our Skype session with him.
