You're no idiot, of course. But when it comes to keeping up with the plays in a basketball game, you're not sure what's been dribbled more—your brain cells or the ball.

Don't head for the locker room yet! Walt Frazier, one of the greatest and most stylish players in NBA history and now one of the game's most eloquent commentators, is here to tell you what all the hoopla is about. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Basketball takes you center court with "Clyde," explains all the moves, and elucidates why stars like Michael Jordan and Hakeem Olajuwon are "omnipotent" on the court. This extraordinary book delivers:

• Clear descriptions of the rules, positions, and team strategies
  
  
• Professional insights into NBA players—past and present—you need to know
  
  
• Insider's commentary on what to look for during a game's intense moments
  
  
• Little-known facts, records, and anecdotes about NBA legends
  
  
• Valuable information on high school and college basketball, as well as women's basketball
  
  
• Dozens of exciting action photos and useful diagrams

About the authors...

Walt "Clyde" Frazier is considered by many to be the best player to ever don a Knicks uniform. A member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, the Madison Square Garden Hall of Fame, and the Georgia Hall of Fame, the Knicks' point guard and seven-time All-Star helped his team win two championships, in 1970 and 1973. In 1996, he was named by the NBA as "one of the greatest players in NBA history."

Alex Sachare has authored or co-authored eight books on basketball, including The Official NBA Basketball Encyclopedia and The Chicago Bulls Encyclopedia.
