This page contains most of the photos I purchased for use in Hoop Lore. In an effort to contain publishing costs, McFarland used only black and white photos throughout the book, and downsized most of them considerably. I understood the financial consideration, but I always thought it was a shame. Now that I have this blog, I have opted to share them with you in the manner they were meant to be seen.
Note: all photos on this page are the property of the respective photographers or copyright holders listed at the bottom of this page. Photos are displayed in low resolution for viewing purposes only to prevent printout and unauthorized reproduction. (Clicking on thumbnails will enlarge the photos but not the resolution.)
Think of this page as a visual history of the NBA.
