Masters of the Game: A Conversational History of the NBA in 75 Legendary Players

Masters of the Game: A Conversational History of the NBA in 75 Legendary Players by Sam Smith and Phil Jackson 

This book discusses the 75 best basketball players with a back and forth between writer Sam Smith and coach Phil Jackson. The stories discuss the key players as well as tangents related to them. Some of the "not quite the great" make appearances as well as the key players. Some players won multiple championships, while others were great without a championship. The two have seen many of the players in person and have some interesting commentary. Smith had started watching the Nicks as a young kid in New York and spent a long career as a sports writer. Jackson had experience as player coach and executive. They both have intimate knowledge of the came with plenty of first and second hand  commentary.
