Basketball Books

Very similiar to the 1999 NCAA Stat book, but this book deals only with the NCAA Tournament. Gives records for each round, and historic records for each school and coach. I particularly liked the brackets that the book had in the back. All NCAA tournaments (1939 to 1999) were listed.

And this book/CD package is a terrific companion to track and follow the history of the tournament.

It's funny how college basketball has become even more popular than pro in some markets. Its a shame there aren't more books and media on the tourament. We expect that to change soon. Until then, these combo package is just the ticket to track the stats, rankings and history of some of the most colorful matchups and Cinderella stories.

If you're like me, for three weeks in March and April you make sure to sit down and see as many tournament games as possible. That element of surprise and the do-or-die nature of the NCAA tourney is what makes it--to me--the finest sporting event in the world. The Final Four records book is the most invaluable book I own, and even if it only gets heavy use for a few weeks, it has serves as such a nice resource while watching the games. When was the last time Duke lost in the first round? And if you don't know (to Eastern Michigan, 96) you can look it up instantly. As a tourney lover there's nothing better: complete brackets, stats, records. Everything's here, and this should be purchased every year because it has earned it. With the tourney we fans are given such great moments that paying a few bucks to keep informed each year is well worth it.

The New Jersey Devils are an amazing team in the NHL. This year, they earned their third Stanley Cup Championship and this book takes you on their journey to earning that cup. The New Jersey Devils in my opion are the best NHL team out there.. and i'll keep rooting for them forever. GO DEVILS!!

This is perhaps the most sought after basketball coaching technique book published in the last 25 years. It is now out of print in any form. It has techniques, strategies and tactics (from fundamental to advanced application methodology) from a variety of notable coaches including: Dean Smith, Lenny Wilkins, Lute Olson, Eddie Sutton, Jim Valvano, Gene Bartow, and many others.

Wow! This 250-page account of the Knick's 50 year history is spectacular. Recapping everything from Ned Irish's idea of a professional NY basketball team to the Knicks' signing of Allan Houston, this books is not only great to look at(thanks to George Kalinsky's pix) it is also insightful and nostalgic to read(this thanks to Phil Berger's text). If you love the Knicks, this book is a must-have! If you like the Bulls?...Maybe not. Knick fans: Also, check out a rare photo of Clyde Frazier in a Cavs uniform(!) on pg 149.

A great "book". Includes photos and highs of players like:

Shareef adbdur-rahim Ray Allen Kobe Bryant Marcus Camby Tim Duncan (college highs) Michael Finley Kevin Garnett Juwan Howard Allen Iverson Jason Kidd Kerry Kittles Stephon Marbury Antonio Mcdyess Bryant Reeves Joe Smith Jerry Stackhouse Damon Stoudamire Antoin Walker Rasheed Wallace and Chris Webber

and has NBA all rookie teams from 95/97..and rookie of the year (84-85) and #1 draft picks from the same years.. It even comes with a poster with all those players on it. A great book.

This is finally a baseball book that even a parent can learn from and enjoy. My son, age 5, loved this book. It is an interesting story as well as educational. You will learn all about baseball from "choking up on the bat" to running the bases. It is very informative and fun!! I highly recommend!!!

This book was awesome. I have read just about all of the sports books out there and I liked the way this one got right down to the basics of Dennis, his life, his childhood, and how he became what he is today. It laid out for me how all the events in his life lead to his present self. Furthermore, the author doesn't attempt to over-analyze Dennis on his own, but rather gives you all the info to let you form your own opinion. I wish all the sports bio's were written like this!!!

All true Carolina fans should buy this book and read over the games that players such as Sean May, Raymond Felton, and Rashad McCants won to get us to the top of the college basketball world! This book discusses every single game of the 05-06 season in very good detail! It also has player profiles of the players that played at Carolina during that season including Sean May, Raymond Felton, Rashad McCants, and Jawad Williams!

Any Carolina fan should buy this book to read and for great memories of our 5th Championship season at UNC! I hope my review was helpful to you!
