Howard Beck. Marc Stein. Jonathan Abrams. Chris Broussard. Ira
Berkow. George Vecsey. Mike Wise. Selena Roberts. Lee Jenkins. All
have graced the pages of The New York Times, entertaining readers
with their probing coverage of the N.B.A.: a stage on which
spectacular athletes perform against a backdrop of continuous
social change. Now, their work and more is collected in a new
volume, edited and annotated by Hall of Fame honoree Harvey Araton,
tracing basketball's sustained boom from Magic and Bird to the
present. Elevated provides a courtside seat to four decades of
professional basketball. Both the iconic moments and those quieter,
but no less meaningful times in between are here, from Wise riding
around Los Angeles with a young Kobe Bryant on the eve of his first
All-Star Game, to Stein declaring Giannis Antetokounmpo's
"unspeakable greatness" to the world in a riveting profile. Rather
than simply preserving the past, Elevated reexamines and further
illuminates hoops history. This expertly curated collection
features exclusive new writing by Araton and postscripts from the
original journalists, revealing candid exchanges with NBA greats
that didn't make the original newspaper edit and tracing the rise
of a worldwide phenomenon from a contemporary vantage point.
