Featuring Top Ten Lists to chew on and debate, and a Top 40-style Timeline of Key Moments in Basektball History, this comprehensive collection includes the greatest dynasties, from the Bill Russell-era Celtics, to the Magic Jonson-led Lakers, to the Jordan-led Bulls, right up to the Tim Duncan-led Spurs.

Title: Sports Fans Diary
Review: This book is filled with facts that takes you way back. For the sports enthusiast they can give you info that you never heard before. Too much for young children. My grandson is 13 and I think it's too much.

Title: Great read for basketball lovers
Review: I bought this for my 11 year old nephew for Christmas hoping it would get him a little more interested in reading as its his least favorite subject. He couldn't put it down. Read the entire thing and asked his teacher if he could take an Accelerated Reading test on it and scored an 85% which shows he also retained information. So glad I bought this!
