My 11 year old son loves this book. It will take him a long time to read it! He finds it very interesting and the pictures are great!

Great book on the shooting revolution of the NBA using illustrations, graphs and charts. Another great reference with plenty more statistical charts available on all-time greats is in the new release book “NBA’s 50 Greatest Basketball Players of All-Time 75th Anniversary Edition.” This reference includes a mini biography, a 10-page Hall of Fame chart, 3 charts of over 800 entries for: Player Awards, Honors, & Accolades, NBA Nicknames, Greatest Players in NBA history by Position, Greatest NBA Duos, Trios, Backcourt Duos & Frontcourt Duos, Greatest Clutch Shooters, Greatest Defenders, All-NBA First Team Teammates, and Dream Team Rosters (1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020), Greatest Foreign Born, Greatest European Players & Greatest Coaches, Greatest Teams of All-time, NBA’s Most Infuential Teams of All-time, a 6-page chart for Greatest Players for Every Franchise, and an NBA Number Retirement chart.

Incredibly detailed book about the transformation of basketball over the years.

Loved it, great pics throughout the book like the Grantland books back in the day. Loved the metrics and breakdowns of players, eras and shots. Such a great book and always enjoy a Goldsbury book. The pics are entertaining cause they are like basketball comic art.

This has been a great basketball book for my grandsons. They read and refer to it all the time.

I enjoyed Sprawlball when it came out and was excited to read Hoop Atlas and it definitely did not disappoint! I actually think that I enjoyed Hoop Atlas more! It has all of the same elements as Goldsberry's previous book, but this puts into context how the NBA modernized to what it is and did a good job of explaining the role of different players who paved the way for what we see today. I enjoyed the info about Iverson, Curry and his trainer and the impact that Manu had on the game changing as I hadn't read or heard about these insights. It is super interesting and the illustrations are visually stunning and I could not put this book down!! If you are a fan of the NBA, then this NEEDS to be in your library! Great, fun read!!

Kirk Goldsberry paints a masterful picture of how the NBA has evolved over time, and how specific players have changed the aesthetic of the game. I particularly enjoyed the analysis of Allen Iverson and Stephen Curry, two of my favorite players. The graphs paired with illustrations kept each chapter engaging and informative. Highly recommend for anyone looking to nerd out about basketball!

Het boek is beschadigd aangekomen. Ik wilde het terugsturen, maar dat zou me bijna het dubbele gekost hebben van wat ik oorspronkelijk betaald heb. Moeten betalen om een beschadigd artikel terug te sturen, is onaanvaardbaar. En een boek in deze toestand aankrijgen ook. De prijs was al hoog genoeg, dan is het minste dat je mag verwachten een perfecte staat van het boek.

Superbe atlas, bien commenté et très instructif pour les fans de NBA.

Ecxelente compra llegó en tiempo y forma y la calidad del libro es excelente

A mi Nieto les gusto mucho.

A mi hijo le está pareciendo fantástico. Refuerza su inglés, habla de su deporte favorito y desde una perspectiva fantástica ( estadísticas, diagramas...) algo que le encanta.
