The First Tip-Off: The Incredible Story of the Birth of the NBA by Charley Rosen
Requirements: .ePUB Reader, 1.19 MB
Overview: Go back to a time when basketball players wore knee pads and itchy cotton jerseys. When even the team’s leaders were grateful for dry towels, hot showers, and $60 paychecks. When winning was all that mattered.
In this vividly rendered and meticulously researched book, endorsed with a Foreword by Los Angeles Lakers head coach Phil Jackson, sportswriter Charley Rosen takes you on a rollicking tour of the NBA’s first season. Filled with rare archival photographs and exclusive interviews, The First Tip-Off brings to life a cast of unforgettable characters–including Chuck Connors, clown prince of the BAA, and Jumping Joe Fulks, ex-Marine turned basketball’s first superstar–as Rosen deftly unfolds the dramatic events of that formative season.
It’s enough to make you believe once again in the spirit of the sport.
