Book Description

Sporting News Selects October 1, 2002
Heroes of college hoops who made the game America's passion

Millions have played the game of basketball, thousands have played on the college level, hundreds can be considered "great" . . . but only 100 make our list!

Legends of College Basketball presents the 100 greatest players of all time, the best players to have played the collegiate game: from Lew Alcindor, Oscar Robertson, and Elvin Hayes, from Pete Maravich and Isiah Thomas, to Michael Jordan and Shane Battier.

Through historic black-and-white and lavish color photography, all the great players and their games come to life. Read and see what made these players the greatest in the game: Magic Johnson's passing; Bill Walton's imposing dominance.

In Legends of College Basketball, older generations can remember the game and the players as they used to be; younger generations can learn about the predecessors to today's superstars.

Following in the tradition of The Sporting News Selects . . . series, a panel of experts ranks the legends, 1 through 100. Agree (or disagree!) with the experts and relive college basketball history!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Conversation Book, August 1, 2003
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Legends of College Basketball : The 100 Greatest Players of All Time (Hardcover)
This book provides a great, short history of college basketball players that forces you down memory lane if you are a college basketball fan. Many contemporary writers struggle with rating players from previous generations. But while there was some weighting to players of the last 20 years, Mike did a good job of including many very old players, some of whom I was not familiar with.

This is a great coffee table book positioned where you view games on TV. You'll be surprised how many people will pick up the book and then start debating the rankings. It's a great book to start conversations.

DISCLOSURE: Mike is a friend of mine who I met when he lived in Memphis in the mid 90s. I have followed his career to The Sporting News and enjoy his articles as well as friendly banter on his opinions of college basketball. Mike is a respected sports journalist who is just now beginning to get the recognition he deserves.
