Customer Review: I found this book very insightful and easy to follow.
As a H.S. basketball coach I found Tom Emma's book very helpfull in guiding my players wieght training. The book gives great descriptions of all the excercises that are used, so even a beginner can start lifting the correct way. The best part about the book I found as a coach was that it is specifically made for the sport of basketball. Tom gives a full year program for the player to follow, including a calender so they can stay on track. The workouts are planned for different parts of a basketball season, post season, pre-season, and in season. I am already seeing a vast improvement with my team, and we have only been using Tom's program for three months. A Basketball Players Comprhensive Guide to Strength Training is a must for all coaches and players, it will make you feel safe sending your team into the weight room, knowing that the are doing workouts designed specifically for Basketball
Customer Review: An very well written book with helpful illustrations.
I read this book and found it to be an extremely useful guide. This is not just a book that one reads an puts on the shelf. It doubles as a guide one can keep with them and use all year long. The book provides a complete personal training guide as well as great diet tips and the proper ways to stretch before hitting the court and much more.

Customer Review: Basketball Legends Captured in a Legendary Book
This hardcover book by Mallozzi is one of my most treasured books. It is a large hardcover book with a glossy front and glossy dustjacket. It features about 300 of basketballs all time great players. Each featured player is allocated a page which has some narrative about the player and his career. There is a 'fact file' on each player which lists : Birthdate, height, length of NBA career, major teams, records/awards. Each feature also had a large photo, generally of the player in action and a smaller photo of the player where available. The photos are in glorious colour apart from the earlier photos of legends such as 'Pistol Pete' Maravich. There are also a number of 'special features' in the book highlighting some great basketballing moments. Full of facts and action photos this book will not disappoint basketball fans. For the older reader this book will bring back fantastic memories. I can't recommend this book highly enough. Superb, essential purchase for basketball and sporting fans alike.
