Famous Sports Figures Rave About the NBA AT 50!!
Earvin Johnson, Los Angeles Lakers:"In only 50 years the NBA has become truly a global sport, with the popularity of the game and its players surpassing national boundaries. The league certainly has come a long way, and this journey is magnificently reflected in the words and pictures in NBA AT 50."
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, NBA's all-time leading scorer:
"I am in my fifth decade of watching the NBA. Its growth has been extraordinary, and I am happy and proud to have been a
part of it."
Marv Albert, lead announcer, NBA on NBC and voice of the New York Knicks:
"Yes! From George Mikan to Gheorghe Muresan, and from the 69th Regiment Armory to Skydome, the NBA has come far in
a half-century. While the NBA has experienced an explosion of success in recent years, NBA AT 50 really captures the history
and tradition of the league through the memories of its stars, both past and present. The sensational photography adds to the
almost mythic nature of many of the League's greats."
Hannah Storm, NBC Sports:
"NBA AT 50 offers an insightful look at the individuals who helped create the most successful league in professional sports.
From Wilt to Shaq, from Baylor to Barkley, NBA AT 50 is an entertaining account of five decades of basketball personalities."
