A Wonderful Synopsis of the NBA's Best

Although some will debate whom is the greatest player alive, the NBA got this list correct. The pictures are phenomenal, the history and statistics amazing; a must read and purchase for any true fan of the NBA. There are comparisons between players, not only at the same positions, but at different positions in different eras. All the information you need to put together a strong debate on the NBA's best. A wonderful book!

For Basketball Fans

Any real fan of the NBA and its history should own this book. Wonderful pictures on each page with interesting quotes and stories throughout. Does a good job of showing the evolution of the league. The forward by Halberstam gives a unique and thought provoking view of basketball and its impact on our world.

An Excellent Book For The Die-Hard NBA Fan

This book celebrates a league where greed now dominates, but where players once played for the fun of it. This book gives a nice summary of each of the NBA's fifty greatest players, and vividly describes the league throughout its first fifty years of exsistance.
