[Roland · Rating 3 out of 5]

There's a lot of great information about the early game in this book, but the information about the modern game is obviously outdated, since it was written during the Jordan years. Also, the authors' attempts at humor are really groan-inducing sometimes, and I believe there's a chapter that's almost exclusively lame jokes. This book has a lot of trivia about Naismith's life, the college game, women's leagues, and other stuff not typically covered elsewhere.
