Summary: Good stuff...
Comment: I enjoyed this book and didn't find the writing flat. I mean, it's not going to win a Pulitzer but it was lively writing that kept my interest throughout. I enjoyed how this book provided a balance between "team history" and "quirky anecdote". I also thought that while Cuban was involved in the book (he wrote the foreword--his usual "blah blah blah GO MAVS!"), it didn't affect the author's coverage of the Mavs in the least. There's no bias. You get the good and the bad, and plenty of entertaining "tales" as well. Well worth the money if you're not a fairweather fan.

Summary: A great read for any hoops fan!
Comment: This book was a fast, fun read. The BEST part was how detailed and researched it is. The writing was lively with lots of short stories; nothing flat about it. As for Cuban, he owns the team, not the book. He wrote only a three-page foreword, then isn't mentioned again until Chapter 19 (page 163 of 209). The cover I got had Cuban's picture much smaller than shown above. I recommend this to any basketball fan -- from Dallas or anywhere else.

Summary: Sales and Marketing--How Sad
Comment: This is a book about the Mavericks, but what does the publisher do? They put a self-serving picture of the team's owner Mark Cuban on the cover. What a major turnoff. This is about marketing and sales--not a well reserched work on the team. PS Both the author and Mr. Cuban need to go to writing school. The writing in the book is flat. It could have been so much more.
