5Sposts Illustrated " The basketball Book " scores again !  Jan 08, 2008
By C. Young


I bought the SI Basketball book because I had already bought the baseball and football books, and was very pleased with them.. I expected the basketball book to be of the same quality of writing and photos of the other two. I was not diapointed. The book is full of great articles by quality writers, and with many photos by the famed photo staff at SI. If you want a good quaility book, and are a basketball fan, this book is worth the more then fair asking price. The origins of the game to the present day game is covered as well as profiles on the superstars of each decade, is excellent. This is an exceptional book, buy it, it is worth it.

4The Basketball Book  Dec 31, 2007
By Tim Fitzgerald
Great basketball book. Excellent if you'd like to get an appreciation of the 60's and 70's of NBA basketball (as well as current information).

Highly recommended !

5just what he wanted...  Feb 03, 2012
By cashman
I got this for my husband for christmas-he's a big basketball fan and he's interested in becoming a coach someday. He's gone through the entire book already and he can't wait till he has some downtime to really look over it again and make some notes. He says there are a ton of helpful plays and tips that an up-and-coming coach could use, plus it was just "cool" to see a lot of the old equipment used for the sport in the past, and to learn more about a lot of the greats. He loves it.

I bought this for my 9 year old grandson who is a HUGE basketball fan. It may be too in depth for most kids, but if they're a good reader and have that passionate interest they'll love it.
