Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Beard, former NBA player and coach and currently a TV commentator for the New York Knicks, provides here an all-around program for aspiring basketball players. In easy, conversational style, he discusses fundamentals of the game, drills, on-court strategy and conditioning and, throughout, emphasizes the importance of dedication and development of a "good" attitude. He also includes unusual and creative tips, such as his recommendation that, while watching basketball games on TV, viewers narrate aloud, as though they were announcers, because "you'll find yourself noticing finer and finer qualities in what you observe." This is a clear, concise guide, replete with helpful diagrams, photographs and flashes of humor. January

5.0 out of 5 stars
A good basketball book,
By Hugh T. Winslow II (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Butch Beard's Basic Basketball: The Complete Player (Paperback)
There are a lot of basketball books, so I don't know if this one is the best, but it's a good beginners guide. It covers all the basics in a clear concise manner. It even covers diet, injuries and stretching. The stretching section uses the clear illustrations of Jean Anderson. I read it years ago, then recently picked up a copy at my library's used book sale. I was reminded why I picked it up to start with. Nice beginners guide, by an author who wants you to learn the game correctly.
