Includes team-by-team profiles, a look at the greatest players and coaches of all time, a look back at various finals and team dynasties, and highlights from All-Star games and other great moments in basketball.

Fun and Interesting

What a great book! Too many of the Idiot's Guides seem to be, well, for idiot's. This book was well written, fun, full of cool facts, and lots of inside stuff too. I know a bit about basketball and still found things and stories in there I never knew. It would be a great present for a child, a girlfriend, or a buddy just getting into the NBA. Another good thing is that most NBA books are very expensive ($50), but this is very reasonable priced in comparison.
