Chris Ballard sits down with the NBA's most passionate, cerebral
players to discover their tricks of the trade and to learn what
drives them. He reveals the roots of Kobe Bryant's limitless
competitiveness; shadows LeBron James to figure out how he deploys
his prodigious talent; and challenges Steve Kerr to a three-point
shootout to analyze the mind-set of a pure shooter. Ballard tracks
down renowned dunkers to explore the slam's impact on today's game,
follows Shane Battier during his extensive pregame preparations,
gets pointers from a free-throw shooting guru who once hit 2,750 in
a row, and attends an elite NBA training camp to experience the
pain that turns a prospect into a pro. Packed with fascinating
characters and startling anecdotes, and grounded in the superb
writing and the reportage that is the hallmark of Sports
Illustrated, The Art of a Beautiful Game is an often witty, always
insightful look at the men like Steve Nash, Dwight Howard, and Dirk
Nowitzki who devote themselves to this elegant and complicated
sport. It's an inside read on the game that will surprise even
diehard fans.
