John Hareas

Presents a comprehensive history of the game of basketball and includes full-color and vintage photographs of early teams and players along with information on equipment and uniforms used over the decades, stadiums, and the birth of the NBA.

Text and detailed photographs present the history, techniques, and interesting facts of basketball. DK joins forces with the NBA to bring the high-flying sport of basketball to the page in classic Eyewitness style. Amazing photographs and accessible text tell the whole story - from James Naismith's nailing a peach basket to the wall of a local gym for the first informal game to the incredible feats of basketball's super-size stars of today.
