The game of basketball has evolved move by move, with the great players adding their signitures to every aspect of the sport.

Each chapter focuses on the history of one great move (The Jump Shot, The Drive, The No-look Pass, etc.) and explores in detail the first time the move was attempted, the players who made it great, its evolution over time, and how the game has changed with its addition. Photos fill every page with examples, and sidebars relate great moments, plays and statistics. Finally, quotations from players and coaches illuminate thoughts on plays and games.

The J-Man

The J-Man Review

Jake Man is called the J-Man because of the accurate jump shot he had in his Hall of Fame career hoop days when he won more titles than any other player. But apparently that was easy compared to dealing with the death of his wife and kids in an aircraft accident. In an effort to shake Jake out of his depression, his former coach drags him off to Africa in hopes that the often horrible conditions there will give Jake a new challenge. But it takes Jake’s meeting with Sabba Denza, the lovely, magnetic, an alleged AIDS immune African woman running a refugee camp for Aid’s victims to really shake our hero out of his torpor. Thus, when Sabba is later reported missing and likely dead, Jake heads back to Africa alone determined to rescue her if possible. Tips soon convince Jake that Sabba is being held prisoner by a despotic head of state who feared Sabba’s popularity with the masses might lead to his overthrow. In desperation our hero hires a former Green Beret and several of his comrades to help Jake locate and free Sabba. Can they do so and in time for her to testify before the UN about the need to increase the availability of anti-Aids medicine in Africa? It’s quite a tale—read it and find out the answer—you’ll love this woman!!
