NBA: A History of Hoops series.
These books provide quick looks at four NBA teams' histories, notable seasons, winning coaches, and star players. The texts, though accessibly written, are so small that it's hard to read them. The volumes' highlights are the large, clear photographs; for some tall spreads, the books need to be turned ninety degrees for the pictures to be properly viewed. Ind. Review covers these NBA: A History of Hoops titles: The Story of the Chicago Bulls, The Story of the Miami Heat, The Story of the Phoenix Suns, and The Story of the Utah Jazz.
