Unexpected Views on the Lure of Basketball
Nobel laureates on the fast break? Symphony orchestra conductors on the Alley-Oop? Astronauts on the free throw? Here is a unique look at America's premier sport - and its fans - through interviews with a remarkable cross-section of widely known and extraordinarily accomplished individuals in a variety of fields who explain what the lure of basketball is for them.
Greats such as Woody Allen, Tom Brokaw, Walter Matthau, Frank Stella, Donald Trump, Sharon Stone and others offer fresh, funny, controversial and often surprising opinions about the teams and players who make the game intriguing.
