Pickup Artists by Chad Millman
A historiography of basketball.
A passionately but conscientiously assembled bookRiveting profiles give life to figures both forgotten and never heard of, while a long overdue history of basketball's most elemental version is a valuable contribution to the game's historiography. -- Alexander Wolff * Sports Illustrated *
Pickup Artists is an unusually well-written and astute picture of the ways that basketball has evolved in this country ... An exemplary piece of reporting and writing, transcending sports to give us a somber view of America's crumbling cities. * Kirkus Reviews *
The book's real strength lies in its characterization of the numerous figures, both tragic and comic, who have played out roles on the nation's asphalt stages ... A meticulously researched, richly written look at a vital part of American popular culture. * PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER *
Anderson and Millman obviously know their subject and have done a wonderful job tracking down playground heroes. * Minneapolis Star Tribune *
