With exclusive action photos from the NBA's own archives, along with biographies of the great players, Basketball is a comprehensive, visual tribute to the game of basketball. Posters of the handful of players who appeared in Barcelona and Atlanta adorn the bedrooms of teenagers everywhere. They are the best basketball players of all time, stories of the twists and turns in the lives of these players-stories that go beyond the magazine covers or the NBA stat sheets. Each of their own way, left their mark on the game and on the world. "There are some young players who are paid too much and don't respect the sport," said Jordan when he returned to the league. "I'm coming back to restore the real joy of playing, like Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, and a lot of others. The young need role models." These world champions come alive in this book.
