Overview

Balls of Confusion: Pro Basketball Goes to War (1965-70) is the first of a two-part story about one of the most transformative events in pro basketball history: the war between the National Basketball Association and its challenger the American Basketball Association (ABA). From this nine-year battle for the heart of the game, modern pro basketball emerged in the mid-1970s and grew into today's global, multibillion-dollar sports industry. Part One takes a definitive behind-the-scenes look at both leagues marching to war, their marketing schemes, their labor woes, their legal challenges, and their coming to terms with the 1960s and the nation's changing attitudes on race. If you love sports history and pro basketball's throwback days of Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West, Connie Hawkins, and Julius Erving, this is a book for you, with part two soon to follow.
