Behind The Scenes Look At Minor League Basketball,
By Chris (Alexandria, VA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Life on the Rim: A Year in the Continental Basketball Association (Hardcover)
The year is 1988. The good old days of minor league basketball before the NBA's power and popularity took over. This book chronicles a year in the CBA, following the Albany Patroons. I highly recommend this book to those who like a "real life" view of sports. This book highlights what the CBA was all about, from players dealing with their demons (substance abuse, attitude problems, wrong body types for their positions), to the horrendous travel conditions, to the turbulence of a team where players come and go in a matter of days. For myself, I enjoyed the writing style (paragraphs organized by calendar date) and seeing the past lives of famous people. The coach of the Patroons is George Karl. Some of the other notable characters in the book are Kelvin Upshaw, Vincent Askew, Eric Musselman, Dan Levy, and Flip Saunders. For those of you whose favorite show is Making The Video and favorite sports video is The Secret Life Of The NBA, this book is for you. |
