To the Hoop : The Seasons of a Basketball Life

Mr. Berkow steps out from behind his New York Times reporter's notebook to spin the tales of his life as a pickup basketball player. To the Hoop tells the story of a year in his basketball life, as he resolves to enhance his game and stave off the ravages of time. Berkow is one of the best sportswriters around, so it is no surprise that his basketball odyssey is one of the best sports books of this or any other year. --George PlimptonBerkow, Ira is the author of 'To the Hoop : The Seasons of a Basketball Life', published 1966 under ISBN 9780465079339 and ISBN 0465079334.
