No sport markets itself with anywhere near the razzle-dazzle that pro basketball does, and no book has ever caught the high-energy spirit of the league quite like this anniversary volume. The action photography is stirring, but it's the graphically thrilling homage it pays to the 50 players selected as the greatest of the National Basketball Association's first half century that truly raises The NBA at 50 to a level well above the rim.

Whether you're a rabid sports fan or flip to another channel fast, read this terrific, exhilarating story of a year in the life of a women's basketball team. At the University of Oregon--as at most schools--women's athletics drew the short straw: spartan quarters, bad practice times, low-paid coaching staff, and little respect. In 1993, ambitious new head coach Jody Runge sought to change this. A competitive player who had benefited from 1970s laws demanding equity between male and female athletics, Runge whipped her lagging team toward winning while legally pressuring the school to ante up. Full Court Press is remarkably suspenseful and dramatic as Runge and her team set out to "jump on 'em and show 'em who lives here."
