Description

This irresistible guide serves up sex scandals, crimes, drugs, and financial chicanery that have rocked the world of basketball, and also includes obscure and offbeat stats-based records for the hardcore fan. Wickedly humorous, the book includes candid commentary, amazing anecdotes, comic quotes, fascinating biographical sketches, and little-known trivia. From the star who credited LSD with improving his game to the player charged with sexual harassment during a game, this fun read covers the good, the bad, and the ugly in this mega-popular sport.
