From the Publisher:
In The Game Within the Game, basketball legend Walt Frazier looks at basketball from both a historical and personal view. When Frazier first started playing the game, discipline and strategy were more highly valued than in today's game, which he describes as having devolved into a playground fest of dunks and threes. The old school style of Frazier's past emphasized substance over style, contrary to the current state of the game, where celebrity and flashy moves dominate.
In lively and accessible language, Frazier writes about how important the game within the game really is. He emphasizes timing and mental skill, far more than dazzling moves, as the strengths that today's players need to hone in order to achieve success. Frazier makes some controversial points, aimed at new basketball players.

It's A Fact!
"In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes when you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase, 'Goodnight, sleep tight.' "
