About this listen

There are few places more exciting than the basketball court.... Yet few kids realize just how exciting the whole story of the game really is.

More than 210 million people follow the NBA league across its various social media platforms, making it the most popular sports league in the world. So why is it that no one really understands its history?

If your kids aspire to be the next LeBron James, they’re already hungry for basketball knowledge...and a deeper understanding of the rich and colorful history of the sport is only going to improve their practice and deepen their love of the game.

If you’ve ever watched your child dribble the ball across the driveway narrating their all-star play with a creative commentary, or heard your teen raving about the last Bulls game, you know they’ve got basketball fever...and this one’s a fever that deserves to be fed!

The History of NBA Basketball That Nobody Talks About for Kids delves right inside that history, uncovering all the most inspirational gold. You’ll discover:

  • The question you didn’t know you needed to ask, answered—what exactly is NBA basketball?
  • The greatest basketball player nicknames of all time (no kid will be able to resist coming up with their own contender!)
  • The inspirational rags-to-riches stories
  • Eight of the greatest underdog moments in NBA history (nothing inspires a kid like an underdog story!)

Do your kid a favor: Give them the tools they need to explore the players and stories that make the game what it is today...and who knows? Maybe you’ll have the next big star of the NBA on your hands!

This Book was incredible!

I am so impressed with this book! I can't believe how much my kid learned from this book. In a couple hours you can learn more than you could ever learn in another history basketball book. As a lifelong Mavs fan, I enjoyed learning about parts of basketball that I hadn't learned before. Would definitely recommend this book again!

So Informative!

Because my son is so obsessed with basketball and the NBA right now, I had him listen to this audiobook to learn about its history. My son would not stop telling me the comeback/underdog stories told in this book. He went on and on! Thank you William for writing such an inspiring piece for young children. It is definitely worth the purchase!

Brilliant to inspire kids!

This was a really fun, inspiring and education listen. There is so much detailed information that is presented in a way that kids can understand and relate to. I really like how there is a trivia and forgotten facts chapter and also the emphasis on the history of the NBA and so many great players. From Magic Johnson to Michael Jordan to Jimmy Butler and way more! I like the narrators voice as he adds wisdom to the presentation. This will give kids a great head start in basketball and inspire them to get out on the court and play this great sport!
