Great Collectors Item!
As I'm new to the world of basketball, this is a fantastic resource to have! I love that the author reminds us that they're regular people too, and have made incredible strides to get to where they're at! Of course, one of our all time favorite is Michael Jordan; who doesn't love this guy? This all encompassing resource will make a wonderful Christmas gift. I highly recommend it!

Inspiring My Son to Love the Game and Its History
This book has been a real inspiration for my son, who loves basketball. It’s more than just stats and records—it’s a journey through the history of the game that brought the legends to life in a way that really captured his imagination. Reading about players like Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and LeBron James showed him how these athletes not only mastered their skills but also changed the game forever. The stories of their grit, determination, and innovation have sparked his own passion for basketball and given him new role models to look up to.

I really loved this book!!
What fun to listen to the entire history of basketball and all the information about all the players I've been watching over the years. I saw Shaq in his rookie year and loved hearing about his progression on and off the court. And all the great players - I learned so much about their games and their lives. Very well done!!
