Too many anectodes, not technical enough,
By Edouard Andre (Alameda, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Basketball Guard Play (Spalding) (Paperback)
I was expecting a book getting very technical about the guard play, with numerous drills and practice examples. I've found a very short book, full of life anectodes from the 2 authors. It could really be improved with more pictures, diagrams, etc...

This review is from: Basketball Guard Play (Spalding) (Paperback)
As a personal friend of Steve Alford this will increase one`s knowledge of the game, focusing on guard play. Alford`s basketball wisdom is incredible as was his game. This is a must read for anyone who wants to learn more about basketball, especially becoming a better guard!

guard play,
By A Customer
This review is from: Basketball Guard Play (Spalding) (Paperback)
Guard Play is a great book for anyone who wants to become a better basketball player and especially guards. I am reading this book in the summer before my freshman year of college in order to prepare myself for college workouts. If you are willing to follow the workouts suggested by the book and even increase them, this book will do you a great service
