I love the history and journey through the evolution of the game and the key players that made such a big impact.
I learned so much about how these important players were instrumental in so many of the rule changes our players play with today.
This is action-packed, easy to engage in, interesting and an inspiring listen.

Great Collectors Item!
As I'm new to the world of basketball, this is a fantastic resource to have! I love that the author reminds us that they're regular people too, and have made incredible strides to get to where they're at! Of course, one of our all time favorite is Michael Jordan; who doesn't love this guy? This all encompassing resource will make a wonderful Christmas gift. I highly recommend it!

I really loved this book!!
What fun to listen to the entire history of basketball and all the information about all the players I've been watching over the years. I saw Shaq in his rookie year and loved hearing about his progression on and off the court. And all the great players - I learned so much about their games and their lives. Very well done!!
