MORE B-BALL BOOKS

Recently, popular PhilStar columnist and a good friend of mine, Quinito “The Dean” Henson, gave me two great books, “The 2010-11 Official NBA Guide” and “The 2010-11 Official NBA Register.” These two books can be considered the ultimate companions of a true-blooded NBA follower throughout this season. The NBA Guide is called the ultimate NBA almanac. It is full of statistics for all 30 teams which reviews the 2009-10 regular season plus team-by-team history, records covering the regular season, playoffs, the finals and all-star game. Year-by-year reviews, league addresses, team directories, schedules, games on TV and radio, the NBA D-League and WNBA can all be found on this 460-pages of paperback wonder.

“Reviews of every season in NBA history, including stats and standings. Day-by-day schedules, including television games and radio broadcasts. Yearly breakdown of all NBA award winners, leaders and champions. Complete team-by-team historical look at yearly results, coaches and draft picks. All-time regular season and playoff single-game best performances. Other records and more!”

On the other hand, the NBA Register touches on individual player profiles plus coaches in the league. The book is consist of 440 pages of biography of veteran players, promising newcomers, head coaches, all-time great players and coaches plus career game highs and statistical leaders. A really must-have for a big-time NBA fan.

“Bios on every player in the league: NBA, college and international statistics. Draft position, awards, records, transactions and career highlights, all-star and postseason stats plus special sections on promising newcomers and all-time great players and coaches.”
