Item 1: On the Shoulders of Giants Audio Book

$24.95

Join famed sports commentator Bob Costas and the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, on an audio and musical journey through the early history of professional basketball. In the early 20th Century, basketball was, like other aspects of American life, a segregated field. Black professional teams were excluded from competition. This bias, however, did not keep black pros from developing powerful teams that were instrumental in making the game evolve and become popular. On the Shoulders of Giants is the story of the greatest basketball team you’ve never heard of...the Harlem Rens. It is our privilege and great desire to introduce you to these first professional champions of basketball. Listen as award winning sportscaster Bob Costas recounts their remarkable story. Along the way, you’ll be eavesdropping on Kareem’s private conversations with Hall of Fame legends Dr. J., Bill Russell, Jerry West, James Worthy, Clyde Drexler, Charles Barkley, and legendary UCLA Coach John Wooden. You will also hear from some of today’s NBA players such as Lamar Odom, Luke Walton, Ronnie Turiaf and Michael Redd.
