Description

The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Basketball- Ron Smith. "Basketball has risen dramatically from America's third sport to No.1 in just ten years, overtaking football and baseball in the hearts of Americans. The superstars of the NBA have become the most recognizable of all sportsmen, and for good reason. Not only do they tower above their sports brethren, they are unencumbered by helmets and padding and can be seen as individuals. Their athleticism is unrivaled. Illustrated throughout with color photographs and archive duotones, The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Basketball documents all the excitement, verve and dazzling skills of America's most popular sport. The book tells the story of the NBA, from its conception to the present day. It presents entries on the top players and all the current NBA teams, plus essential information on classic matchups, famous arenas and exciting NBA Finals. Every NBA player, event and issue of importance is referred to somewhere in the book. If you would like a trip down memory lane with the 1969 Celtics, the 1988 Lakers or the 1997 Bulls; if you want to imagine the feeling of standing under the basketball as Shaquille O'Neal swoops toward an alley-oop pass from Anfernee Hardaway; or if you're simply addicted to the sublime satisfaction of lobbing a ball of crushed paper into a wastepaper basket from across the room, then you're in luck. This is the book that will satisfy all your hoop dreams." A few creases on the edges, otherwise in tidy condition.
