Basketball's real dream team!

Thinking that what we have here is just another book that gives you the 50 best at whatever sport, in this case basketball? Well before you say yes, you might want to open the book and see what you may have missed.The book uses a unique concept of ranking within the guard, forward and center groupings, rather than the overall 50 best players. Picking the 13 best guards, 21 best forwards and 16 best centers and the task is certainly a tough one.Along with each person selected you have a great explanation about the player and what makes him or her one of the best 50 players. After reading the book you and your friends can spend hours discussing which players are in the wrong order and you'll have plenty of facts to back you up.From Pete Maravich and Michael Jordan, to Julius Erving and Larry Bird, there is sure to be someone you remember. This is the perfect gift for any sports fan and a great collectors item for any basketball enthusiasts.
