About this product

Product Information

"A fascinating story about the evolution of the NBA. Surdam's command of the economic history of the formative years of the NBA is flat- out impressive.

James Quirk, co-author of Hard Ball: The Abuse of Power in Pro Team Sports, "If you're a fan of the NBA--and I mean a real fan of the league and its history-- Surdam's book won't disappoint. Surdam tells well the story of the founders creating a league in which uncertainty and excitement were part of every contest."-- EH.Net, "A fascinating story about the evolution of the NBA.
