Críticas

"This book explores basketball's shooting stars and the development of hoop shots from the two-handed set shot to the dunk. The text also explains how the twenty-four-second rule transformed a largely defensive sport into a fast-paced, high-scoring offensive game. Especially interesting are chapters highlighting the 'weirdest' and longest shots. Excellent color photos of basketball action are well integrated with the text. Reading list, websites.
