Additional Sports Illustrated: The Basketball Book Information
|
Continuing Sports Illustrated's tradition of producing best-selling coffee-table books for the holiday season, SI presents The Basketball Book, a lavish celebration of the athleticism and pageantry of both the college and professional game. With the same kind of unforgettable photographs and award-winning writing that propelled The Baseball Book, The Football Book and The Anniversary Book to The New York Times best-seller list over the past three years, this volume brings to life the legendary players, the classic action and the great rivalries of the court. In 294 oversized pages, The Basketball Book commemorates the epic teams and characters, the personalities and performances and artifacts that have created legions of passionate fans since Dr. James Naismith nailed up a peach basket and devised the Original 13 Rules of the game more than 100 years ago.

What Customers Say About Sports Illustrated: The Basketball Book:
|

its a pretty big coffee table book, and arrived quickly in good condition. i got this as a gift for my boyfriend, an avid bball fan, he loved all the articles and pictures.
Not what I expected at all, but maybe that's my fault.I was expecting a collection of basketball's greatest moments, but instead got more or less a history of basketball with pictures that depict very random moments and players of basketball.It would've been okay as a history book if the writers weren't sports writers; since it is, it's neither history nor journalism but something very awkward inbetween.
In our house, it has helped kick start lot of discussions. SI has a great reputation and they've created a great thing here. Like the football book, this is oversized and perfect for the coffee table.
this book tell the tale of some of B-Balls finest. whether you are playing in the school yard on blacktop or in the gym on hardwood, basketball is rich and exciting with talent.
What parent doesn't want that. He not only learned the history of basketball but was comparing stats and sharing all his new knowledge with all our friends. We could not get our son to stop reading this book. Hours and hours of reading.
