Tip-Off: How the 1984 NBA Draft Changed Basketball Forever by Filip Bondy [$25.00]

Sports columnist Bondy captures the machinations behind the pivotal 1984 NBA draft; fate, chance, speculation (on target and off mark), and the flip of the coin, as luck would have it.  Cultures, egos, and desires clash in this well-researched, slice of sports history.  I’ve often thought some of the most entertaining storytelling could be found in sports writing. You’ll certainly found it here.
