Introduction by Peter Vecsey. America's favorite larger-than-life sports heroes are celebrated in the first book designed to capture the heights of their talents and fame--an awesome 7 1/2" X 18" album of full-color photographs, biographical profiles, stats and more for basketball players from Bill Russell to Dr. J and Karl Malone.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Gr. 4^-8. Call this a novelty item, but kids will probably love it. The only problem is where will libraries shelve it? It is a book that's a record 18 inches tall, an appropriate length when the topic is basketball stars. It contains 50 profiles of basketball's best, everyone from Michael to Kareem to Larry to Magic. Each two-page spread features action shots, a page or so of text, and a box of stats. Care has been taken to make the look of the book as exciting as the sport, and it is. Besides an introduction to the players, there are sections on coaches, women players, and "characters" like the "Worm," Dennis Rodman. Ilene Cooper

Basketball Stars,
By Robert A. Adams (MA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Basketball Stars (Hardcover)
This is a one of a kind basketball book. You can find almost any Basketball Hall of Famer in it. It is complete with pictures, stats and a few informative paragraphs about each player. I really enjoy reading it and I am sure you would too if your a big basketball fan.
