The most iconic moments and stories of the NBA. In NBA 75, sports
writer and basketball super fan Dave Zarum tells the story of the
NBA, all 75 years - from its early barnstorming days to the
multi-billion-dollar sports league it is today. Readers are treated
to all the biggest moments and greatest superstars, with over 75
stories ranging from Jerry West's 33-win streak Lakers, through
Jordan's repeat three-peat Bulls, to Steph Curry and the 73-win
Warriors and beyond. But this retrospective doesn't shy away from
the league's controversies, covering its struggles with racial
bigotry, Magic Jonson's HIV diagnosis, Len Bias's tragic
draft-night death, and the league's cocaine-fuelled late seventies
when the Finals were broadcast tape-delayed. Each story is fully
illustrated with iconic photos and accompanied by stat boxes and
side stories of some of the Association's more curious and
overlooked moments. Some of the events covered in NBA 75: 1946: The
first professional basketball game between the New York Knicks and
the Toronto Huskies; 1969: The legendary duels between Wilt
Chamberlain and Bill Russell; 1976: The merger of the ABA and NBA;
1980: The arrival of Larry Bird and Magic Jonson; 1993: Air Jordan
and his Bulls dynasty; 2006: Kobe Bryant scores 81 points; 2010:
Lebron James makes his Miami decision; 2016: Steph Curry and the
Warriors blow a 3-1 lead; 2020: The COVID-19 stoppage in place and
the Bubble. NBA 75 is the definitive guide to the history of the
NBA - perfect for anyone who wants to learn more about the league
they love or simply catch up on what they've been missing.
