Description
Life in the National Basketball Association is the Big Time. But for many former college stars, the NBA is still a bus ticket away, and to stay sharp, they play in the NBA's official minor league--the Continental Basketball Association. Levine provides a hilarious account of minor league basketball at its very best--or worst! 8-page photo insert.
