Great basketball book

Pallette has written a smashing, detailed, well written slamdunk of a book about an almost forgotten giant of basketball. The young Italian kid from San Francisco rose to the heights as the finest player of his generation. The book explains in fascinating detail his rise to fame, and includes amazing play by play accounts of many of the games, pieced together from many newspaper accounts at the time. Besides being a brilliant piece of research, it is a fast paced book to read. If you love basketball, you will love this book.
