What a great encore!,
By A Customer
This review is from: 100 GREATEST BASKETBALL MOMENTS OF ALL TIME (Board book)
A magnum opus of the premiere degree, Mr. Sachare, throughphotos and scholarly chroniclization, depicts the evolution of thegame from it's genesis in James Nasmith's Springfield gym with a soccer ball and two peach buckets, all the way to the manner in which he approaches with didactical fury it's evolution to it's current Nike, gangsta status on the playgrounds of Harlem. From Magic Johnson to the lumbering Bob Kurland, to photos with Michael Jordan dunking the ball, to Larry Bird popping the trey, to dominique "Human highlight film" Wilkins, to the adroitness of Tiny Archibald's ball handling. Alex Sachare understands both the playground, AND the locker room aspects of what he rightly calls the great American pasttime. I found especially interesting his polemical approach to the evolution of tartan and parquet surfaces in some of the cold-weather college basketball arenas of the the Northeastern U.S. Kudos to Mr. Sachare for another great work!
