| book description |
Award-winning creator Kadir Nelson delivers the perfect gift for basketball fans of any age-a beautifully illustrated history of the game and its key players over the years-in this companion to his bestselling We Are the Ship: The Story of Negro League Baseball. Basketball has evolved by leaps and bounds since its origin over 125 years ago, but what remains is the passion of the players, the heat of competition, and supreme strategy and athleticism on the court. In this visual tour de force, celebrated artist Kadir Nelson weds his love for the game with showstopping paintings that bring its heart-pounding history to life. The sage voice of an elder player narrates the journey from the early days of the slow game of ""basket ball"" to today's dazzlingly athletic and fast-paced sport. Engaging profiles of revolutionary players-including Wilt Chamberlain, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and Stephen Curry-are featured, along with notable quotes from major figures of the game. With each breathtaking page turn, fans young and old will learn the gripping story of the all-American game and meet its iconic, indomitable heroes.
