Basketball has evolved into one of the most commonly played sports worldwide. Regardless of how well you think you know basketball, there are bound to be questions in this book to challenge and entertain, to stimulate discussion, and to start and settle arguments. Featuring questions from professional, collegiate, and women's games, this book covers it all--the players, the coaches, the arenas, the Olympics, and much more. Some of the questions the book answers include: - Why is uniform No. 6 retired by the Sacramento Kings? - Who holds the record for most points in Game 7 of the NBA Finals? - At what Big Ten school was baseball slugger Frank Howard also a basketball standout? - Where was the first NCAA Final Four in 1939? - Who was the MVP in the WNBA's first season? - And 996 more Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Sports Publishing imprint, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in sports--books about baseball, pro football, college football, pro and college basketball, hockey, or soccer, we have a book about your sport or your team. Whether you are a New York Yankees fan or hail from Red Sox nation; whether you are a die-hard Green Bay Packers or Dallas Cowboys fan; whether you root for the Kentucky Wildcats, Louisville Cardinals, UCLA Bruins, or Kansas Jayhawks; whether you route for the Boston Bruins, Toronto Maple Leafs, Montreal Canadiens, or Los Angeles Kings; we have a book for you.

A rip-roaring ride through the land of basketball trivia. Ratermann is poignant and articulate. His best work since "Two on the Aisle". Brosi's research is immaculate. I laughed as I read through the section on ABA trivia. I cried when I read that Cindy Crawford never scored in an organized basketball game. A must read for the basketball fanatic that can't find the information on the Internet. I am looking forward to reading the next work of these brilliant associates. Bring on the next book!!
pretty darn good
