"Basketball's Best Shots" is a gorgeous picture book. That's why you love it. There are captions, but the full-page photos are the reason this book is special.

Most of these are game shots. The posed shots are weaker, as they do not capture the grace of urgent motion.

My favorite is of top rebounder Dennis Rodman, horizontal, several feet in the air, with his fingertips on the ball. The Bulls were champions when he played and this particular photo demonstrates his sheer will and skill to win.

It is a modern collection, with few shots from pre-1970. The bulk are within the last 15 years. There are a few Michael Jordan pictures, but luckily, the NBA had the wisdom to not let this become an MJ highlight-fest

Impressive is a Vince Carter slam against Cleveland. Worth seeing is a four page spread of Dr. J.'s famous baseline move against Magic Johnson.

This will be great on your coffee table, in your bathroom or TV room.

I fully recommend "Basketball's Best Shots."

If you are an NBA fan or a basketball fan you have to see this book. It's a book filled with photographs from NBA basketball games. Even if you aren't very interested in basketball or the NBA you should check out this book.

The pictures are all amazing, and you can see snapshots of this fast-paced sport. There are so many memorable photos in this book that you have to check it out. There is the amazing photograph of Vince Carter suspended in the air for a dunk. There is another amazing juxtaposition of the tallest and shortest players of history. The quality of the pictures is superb and there are concise and interesting captions to tell you about the pictures.

some greats photos in here but the captioning had a lot to be desired--sometimes you have a caption in a place that doesnt match where the photo is--the editor should have looked at this a bit better. this book could have been compiled much better
