Three of America's top sports journalists have teamed up to produce the definitive work on the New NBA, exposing a sport threatened by crisis and scandal. Picking up where David Halberstam's "Breaks of the Game" left off, "Money Players" combines meticulous reporting and superb writing to create a fascinating behind-the-scenes portrait of the NBA. While revealing the often troubling truth about the controversies that plague the league, the authors also take an unflinching look at Commissioner David Stern, whose billion-dollar success story is now dangerously at odds with the increasingly reckless superstars it created.
