Bolas perdidas : La loca historia de la ABA contada por sus protagonistas

What do Julius Erving, Larry Brown, Moses Malone, Bob Costas, the Indiana Pacers, the San Antonio Spurs, and the Slam Dunk Contest have in common? They all came up through the American Basketball Association, the legendary ABA: the league of the red, blue, and white ball; of Afro hairstyles, dunks above the rim, the three-point line, empty arenas, full-court presses, and unrestrained spectacle. But the ABA wasn't all about innovation and challenges. It was also a league with an unparalleled constellation of legendary figures: Marvin Barnes and his indomitable genius; Connie Hawkins, the forbidden talent; Roger Brown, the silent hero; and also George McGinnis, Mel Daniels, Rick Barry, Wendell Ladner, Maurice Lucas, Bob Netolicky, Artis Gilmore, Billy Cunningham, Swen Nater… The NBA may have won the war of money and stability, but the ABA won the war of artistry, imagination, and audacity. Loose Balls is the definitive history of the ABA. A frenetic journey through one of the freest, most fun, and surreal eras of professional sports, told entirely through the voices of those who lived it: players, coaches, journalists, and commentators who, during nine impossible years, forever changed the way we understand basketball.
