For the basketball enthusiast, this book is a must-have. The action-packed text will keep even reluctant readers engrossed as they learn how basketball went from being an American sport played with a soccer ball and peach baskets to being the international sensation it is today. Readers will learn about some of the stunning and memorable moments in the history of Olympic basketball including the "best ever" U.S. men's team of 1960, the controversial call that cost the 1972 U.S. men's team the gold, the debut of women's Olympic basketball in 1976, and the U.S. "Dream Team" of 1992.
