They call them the “giants of basketball,” but you don’t have to be two meters tall. It takes talent, speed, precision, athleticism, and intelligence to rise to the top, first on the asphalt of the courts, then on the parquet floors. From James Naismith to John Wooden, via Kobe Bryant, Magic Johnson, and Michael Jordan. There’s a lot of NBA, and it couldn’t be otherwise, but there are also Europeans who have conquered it, coaches who have written extraordinary plays and stories with their ideas, and some great Italian players. A history of basketball seen through 50 wonderful portraits, written by Dan Peterson and Umberto Zapelloni and illustrated by Fer Taboada.
