Reviews

Charley Rosen's Perfectly Awful provides an insider's summary of the worst season in NBA history. His anecdotes and knowledge of the game give the reader an enlightening sense of the pre-merger NBA of the early 1970s, and of the 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers, still the team most associated with losing by American sports fans. Bob Epling, AETHLON --Bob Epling AETHLON (01/02/2015)


The literature of sport usually focuses on championship teams and players. But the road to the top is littered with vanquished foes. The '72-'73 76ers are the ultimate vanquished foe. Great reading./i> starred review --Wes Lukowsky Booklist
