hardcover. Condizione: New. Masters of the Game: A Conversational History of the NBA in 75 Legendary Players brings together sportswriter Sam Smith and eleven-time NBA champion coach Phil Jackson for an extended, candid conversation about the greatest basketball players who ever lived. Smith and Jackson have known each other since the late 1980s, when Smith was covering the Chicago Bulls for the Chicago Tribune and Jackson was an assistant coach on that bench. Forty years of friendship and disagreement feed every page. The book grew out of the NBA's seventy-fifth anniversary process, in which Smith helped assemble the league's official list of its seventy-five all-time greats. Jackson was invited to participate but declined - he's not a fan of ranking greatness - and the two have been arguing about it ever since. In these pages they work through the legends one by one: Jordan, Kobe, Shaq, Magic, Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West, Larry Bird, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, Bill Walton, and more. The talk is analytical and gossipy in equal measure, covering the genius and the flaws, the mark race left on the game, the business behind the spectacle, and the alchemy that turns talented individuals into championship teams. Published by Penguin Group in 2025 and running to 400 pages, this is a book for readers who already love basketball and want to hear two people who lived it at the highest level talk about it honestly. Smith brings the reporter's access and institutional memory; Jackson brings the coach's eye for what actually matters on a team. Together they make a strong case that greatness is more complicated - and more interesting - than any ranked list can capture.…
