description: The Nat. Basketball Assoc. may have been the runaway success story in sports in the 1980s, but midway through the 1990s the league was more like a runaway train, with superstars who cant make a free throw, all-stars who give their coach a blank check up front to cover their fines for the season, &amp; shoe companies that make commercials with a spokesman who led the league in flagrant fouls, fines, ejections &amp; suspensions. The troubles can be seen in every aspect of the sport. In this book, coaches, owners, refs, players, broadcasters, &amp; general managers discuss, whats going wrong with pro basketball, &amp; whether it can be saved.
