Summary: AT THE BUZZER !
Review: Best collection of NBA action photos of any book I have found. 216 pages of excitement. The book also had two audio CDs that connected to 82 pages of the book with live original broadcasts and commentary from Michael Jordon, Karl Malone, Bill Walton and others. It's amazing to listen to the CDs as you enjoy the book. Each CD track number is noted on 82 pages of the 216 page book. The award winning sports jounalist Bryan Burwell tells the legendary stories of the greatest moments in NBA history with 9 chapters with hundreds of photos and stats. Chapters include: Great Shots, Michael & The Jourdanaires, Great Moves, Great Duals, One-Man Show, Power Moments, Unusual Moments, Monumental Moments and Final Moments. This was a great gift to myself and to give my Dad.

Summary: DOES'NT GET BETTER THAN THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: If your looking for a book that has simply beautiful photographs about the NBA, it DOES'NT GET BETTER THAN THIS!!!! This book literally has hundreds of pictures ( big, small, colorful, black and white, etc. ) that chronolize the entire history of the NBA. It is perfectly decorated with big, sharp, bright, colorful pictures that strike the eyes as the pictures come to life with big, bold headlines and lettering that complimant the pictures. The pages are a smorgasborgh of important historical NBA moments and legendary players from the beginning up until the 2000 Lakers championship. These historical events are displayed in non - chronilogical order. You turn to a page to see the Showtime Lakers of the 80's, then you turn to the next page to see a huge picture of Jordan making a monster dunk. The next page after that, may be black and white pictures of the 60's Celtics. This book has words but it is basically for tantalizing the eyes with gorgeous photographs that cover memorable moments of the NBA. It will put a smile on your face as you relive these precious moments in this fun NBA scrapbook. The pictures you will see in this book are of the Boston Celtics (60's and 80's) ; the Lakers(60's 70's 80's and 2000) ; the Bulls ; The 76ers ; The New York Knicks(just to name a few), Magic Johnson, Micheal Jordan, Vince Carter, Larry Bird, Allen Iverson, Kobe and Shaq, Bob Cousey, George Miken, Dr J, Chamberlain, West, Gervin, Wilkins, Ewing, Auerbach, Russell, Barkley, Baylor, Havlicek, Drexler, Pippen, Malone and Stockton, etc., etc., etc.,. This is only a tiny piece of the pie. If you are a NBA fan looking for a fun little book with many beautifully photographed pictures, this would make the perfect gift. You will cherish this book!

Summary: Do you like Bill Walton?
Review: Yeah, neither do I. So if you want to spare yourself a couple hours of hearing big Bill yammer on, avoid this collection. Did I mention the cheezy musical fanfare all around Bill's voice on these cd's? It's like NFL films music run amuck for 2 straight hours. The pictures are good, but the book isn't much to read, and it's all so cluttered (does being hip and cool have to mean unreadable?) it made my skull ache.
