The legends of the game and the magic of the times - an oral history of pro basketball's wonder years, by the author of the highly acclaimed Loose Balls. Using a lively oral history format, Terry Pluto provides the best look yet at the glory days of the NBA. Tall Tales is essential reading for any fan who understands that the history of the league does not begin and end with Michael Jordan.

Pluto is a great look at the early NBA . Original sources for the book work great as a narrative.
But, the narrator mispronounced more than 15 players names. It is distracting and shows the lack of research.

Great story Unprepared reader
