About the Author:

Vincent M. Mallozzi

From Library Journal:

Mallozzi, a frequent contributor to the New York Times, here offers thumbnail sketches of 292 National Basketball Association players enhanced by a short fact file on each that gives date of birth, height, length of NBA career, major team membership, and a list of awards and records. Interspersed with the A-to-Z list of players are 25 short essays on topics ranging from the Original Celtics (one of the early professional teams in New York) to the first Olympic Dream Team. Throughout, Mallozzi shows his mastery of the sportswriter's craft, and all of the entries are illustrated with hundreds of action photographs. Reminiscent of Taragano's Basketball Biographies (McFarland, 1991), this is a good purchase for most public libraries and for any basketball collection needing a title with basic biographical information.?Terry Madden, Boise State Univ.
