The history of the NBA has been filled with superstars, names known
to fans and non-fans alike. But while comparisons between athletes
who competed against each other face-to-face is a common occurrence
in the sports world, it is not quite as easy to compare players
from different eras. How would Wilt Chamberlain stack up against
Shaquille O'Neal? What about LeBron James and Larry Bird, or Magic
Johnson and Oscar Robertson? In Pro Basketball s All-Time
All-Stars: Across the Eras, Robert Cohen not only examines the best
players from each era, but also ranks the five greatest players at
each position in the history of the pro game. Dividing the history
of professional basketball into five distinct eras, this book first
describes the style of play that prevailed during each period. From
the slow-paced, rough-and-tumble style of play that characterized
the NBA during its formative years, to the up-tempo, high-flying
style that currently prevails, Pro Basketball s All-Time All-Stars
gives an in-depth view of how the game has evolved. For each of the
five eras, Cohen has selected the best players to man the five
positions on the court, providing career bios for each. To
determine the best of the best, Cohen considers the level of
dominance each player reached during his time in the league, his
individual statistics, the degree to which he impacted the fortunes
of his team, and the extent to which he improved his teammates
level of play. Individual honors and quotes from teammates and
opponents alike are used to support the rankings. Covering NBA
greats such as Bob Pettit, Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar,
Michael Jordan, and Kobe Bryant, this book will appeal to
basketball fans of all generations, and to any NBA fan interested
in the history of the game."
