A Basketball Book Written by a Former Player and Coach
Join the Quest
Who are the best 75 basketball players to ever step on the hardwood? Is it even possible to pick the ONE greatest basketball player of all time? Who is the G.O.A.T.?
Jack Sutter ranks his top 75 and provides the reader with a sound, researched, and well-designed criteria for each of his picks. This is a basketball book about more than statistics. Jack provides profiles of each player and offers a little-known “GEM” about each one. He devotes a chapter in this 159-page book to the All-Decade teams, as well as a chapter on the future stars of the NBA. Jack has based his picks on ten criteria that include such things as dominance during the players’ era, honors and awards, skills at both ends of the court, longevity, clutch performances, winning, etc.
Jack spent over 10 months doing research for this book. He has spent over 70 years playing, coaching, and watching players play the game he loves. He is one of very few authors who has seen every player play that he wrote about in this book. This is a book for the casual basketball fan, as well as the “hard core” fan. Join him in his quest to find the best.
**H. Hoge, a Florida reader says, “It’s pretty rare to find someone who has actually seen the great players in the 50s and 60s, and coached at the collegiate level. A book that can be enjoyed even if you disagree with the author’s ranking of the players. It’s an easy read with excellent content.”
