    Summary: 
    "How was basketball born? Why is the area in the paint and around the free throw circle known as the key? When did the NBA begin play? What team was arguably the worst NBA squad ever? Who was the highest drafted college player who never played a single game in the NBA? This book provides over 100 questions and detailed answers concerning the traditions, rules, and history of basketball. Organized by the sport's three eras-its birth through 1945, the NBA from 1946 through 1999, and the game today-it answers questions about the sport at all levels, from college games to the Olympics. A bonus chapter provides a Who, What, When, Where, Why and How of basketball-the perfect resource to settle arguments or to answer challenging trivia questions"--
