Grundman presents readers with a portrait, the first of its kind,
of Dolph Schayes - the star of the Syracuse Nationals basketball
team during the 1950s and 1960s. Schayes may not have one of the
most recognizable names in basketball history, but his
accomplishments are staggering. He was named one of the fifty
greatest players of all time by the NBA, and he held six NBA
records, including one for career scoring, at his retirement.
Grundman chronicles Schayes's life from his early days as the child
of Jewish Romanian immigrants, through his illustrious basketball
career, first at New York University, then as part of the Syracuse
Nationals. In writing about Schayes's career, Grundman also
reflects on many of the revolutionary changes that were happening
in the professional basketball world, changes that affected not
only Schayes and his contemporaries but also the essence of the
sport.
