A Great Journey through Basketball!
Great and fun to read information on B’Ball. Short chapters, each with its own topic that caught my attention and kept me reading. Rules changes, court changes, name changes, state changes, WNBA, Logos, why height matters, influence of foreign players, breaking backboards, great stuff on the legends and the Globetrotters, three point shots. If you know basketball, with “In the Game” under your belt you’ll know even more. Five Stars! Go Adler!

Fantastic
Completely up to date look at the NBA, from its humble beginnings to the multibillion dollar business it is today. Great insights into how and why trades became such an important element into stabilizing the game not the teams involved. Also a shout to the phenomenal players of the WNBA. You don't need to be a sports enthusiast to enjoy this book, but the history it imparts is tremendous.

Inspiring stories for basketball fans
This book is overflowing with inspiration from basketball’s greatest moments, players, and stats. I especially enjoyed the chapter about the evolution of women’s basketball, reminiscing about Jordan’s greatest moments, and reminders of how the game unifies people. Excellent read for those who love the sport!

More Than A Game
I can't express how much I enjoyed this book. More than just a marketing piece but really encapsulates what basketball means on the world stage. Hopefully the next edition will go further into the contributions women have made in this game, from players to the extraordinary coaches. This book is fantastic.
