The Game Within the Game (Paperback)

In THE GAME WITHIN THE GAME, Frazier breaks down the game of basketball and tells in specific terms how teams that share the ball and play defense, utilizing all five players on the court, usually win.& nbsp; Frazier calls many of today??'s players ???athletes??? and not ???all-around basketball players.??? The NBA has tried to promote individual players and high-flying dunks, but Frazier shows that from the Celtic dynasties of the 1960s to the World Champion Detroit Pistons of 2005, the teams that play ???old-school??? team basketball are the teams that win.& nbsp; The others are shown on the highlight reels, but they go home trophy-less. In his folksy, lively language, Frazier will pinpoint the players and teams he likes today, and the ones he feels need to make an attitude and player adjustment if they are ever to play at the championship level.& nbsp; Finally, the book will cover the game??'s evolution in the past 60 years and where it is heading over the next decade.
