George Vecsey. Mike Wise. Selena Roberts. Lee Jenkins. All have graced the pages of \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, entertaining readers with their probing coverage of the N.B.A.: a stage on which spectacular athletes perform against a backdrop of continuous social change. Now, their work and more is collected in a new volume, edited and annotated by Hall of Fame honoree Harvey Araton, tracing basketball's sustained boom from Magic and Bird to the present. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eElevated \u003c\/i\u003eprovides a courtside seat to four decades of professional basketball. Both the iconic moments and those quieter, but no less meaningful times in between are here, from Wise riding around Los Angeles with a young Kobe Bryant on the eve of his first All-Star Game, to Stein declaring Giannis Antetokounmpo's \"unspeakable greatness\" to the world in a riveting profile. Rather than simply preserving the past, \u003ci\u003eElevated \u003c\/i\u003ereexamines and further illuminates hoops history. This expertly curated collection features exclusive new writing by Araton and postscripts from the original journalists, revealing candid exchanges with NBA greats that didn't make the original newspaper edit and tracing the rise of a worldwide phenomenon from a contemporary vantage point.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvey Araton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1629376507\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781629376509\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Triumph Books (IL)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/16\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2019 pg. 9","brand":"Harvey Araton","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43987023790335,"sku":"9781629376509","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1bfa1455-b9d1-455f-9587-a6acde877395.jpg?v=1683286558","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/elevated-harvey-araton-9781629376509","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
