Great for a long car ride.

I listened to this over a few days with a nephew during a long car trip. And he LOVED it. Admittedly, basketball is not my thing, but even I enjoyed it. Great storytelling. And the narrator is excellent too. Good one!

Inspirational and entertaining

It's been a while since I've watched basketball. I was a fan in the late '80s but lost interest over the years. It wasn't until the Raptors started performing really well that I began to catch a game or two. Listening to Jamie Adler's collection of historical stories about what shaped the game was both entertaining and inspirational. I must say that I have a lot of pride in the fact that a Canadian invented it. I enjoyed the stories very much, and the narrator really brought them to life. It may reignite my passion for the sport! Great book!
