"The Origins of the Jump Shot","The wheel, the printing press, the light bulb, the airplane, the space ship, the jump shot--the progress of man can be measured by leaps into the void. This fascinating look at the athletes who changed basketball by jumping into the air and creating, when such a thing was taboo, is about sport and competition, but most of all it is about what Christgau describes as 'the spirit of originality.' I couldn't put it down."--Rick Telander.
