Publisher's summary

There are few places more exciting than the basketball court.... Yet few kids realize just how exciting the whole story of the game really is.

More than 210 million people follow the NBA league across its various social media platforms, making it the most popular sports league in the world. So why is it that no one really understands its history?

If your kids aspire to be the next LeBron James, they’re already hungry for basketball knowledge...and a deeper understanding of the rich and colorful history of the sport is only going to improve their practice and deepen their love of the game.

If you’ve ever watched your child dribble the ball across the driveway narrating their all-star play with a creative commentary, or heard your teen raving about the last Bulls game, you know they’ve got basketball fever...and this one’s a fever that deserves to be fed!

The History of NBA Basketball That Nobody Talks About for Kids delves right inside that history, uncovering all the most inspirational gold. You’ll discover:

  • The question you didn’t know you needed to ask, answered—what exactly is NBA basketball?
  • The greatest basketball player nicknames of all time (no kid will be able to resist coming up with their own contender!)
  • The inspirational rags-to-riches stories
  • Eight of the greatest underdog moments in NBA history (nothing inspires a kid like an underdog story!)

Do your kid a favor: Give them the tools they need to explore the players and stories that make the game what it is today...and who knows? Maybe you’ll have the next big star of the NBA on your hands!

Awesome book!

As a lifelong fan of the NBA (go Lake show!), I was thrilled to be gifted this book. I'm excited to share the memories I have from some amazing Lakers seasons with my kids. Not only did this book remind me of stories I've forgotten, but the underdog stories within are so inspirational for my kids as well. A great way to pass on my love of basketball to the next generation!

Tons of fun!

Basketball has always been a passion for me ever since I was a kid. Growing up and playing basketball at school, we were never taught about the sport's history. This book goes into detail on specific players that changed the game and offers interesting facts! It is tons of fun for the whole family!

Very Valuable

I love the stories narrated in the book because they are very interested. I can imagine that any child will have as much fun with this audiobook as I did. So, if your child likes basketball, do not hesitate to get this book for them, they will love this sport even more after they know a litter deeper about it.

Our family really enjoyed this

Our kids have been watching games with us but were getting frustrated and bored.
Now they are getting some basketball history, and have both picked their favorite teams and started spouting of facts about why their pick is the best.
It has made watching sports with them really entertaining and more of a fun family activity. Highly recommended.

Needed for those who love basketball

I think all those who love basketball will really enjoy this book no matter the age.

You will learn all about the game, how it began, all the changes, the best coaches, the best players, the best teams, not to count some inspiring stories that make you look up to those players, and even a lot more than that. I learned so much myself.

I am positive you will learn something you never knew about, and it would even be great to share how much you learned with others. Even your coach would be excited to see what you learned!

This is a book full of everything anyone would want to know about the game!
It has a century’s worth of history all rolled up into one book.
