Pickup Artists: Street Basketball in America Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The authors of this text tell the story of basketball from its mythical past to the present. Using original reporting to examine the evolution of playground basketball, they aim to uncover the sport's subculture. The book also profiles not just legends like Earl Manigault and Joe Hammond, but players like Fred "Spook" Stegman and Gregory Vaughn.

Synopsis:

Profiling basketball on the blacktops, at its most basic level, this book chronicles the unusual lives of some of the nation's best players--figures both forgotten and never heard of--in fast-paced words and pictures. 16 photos.
