Hardcover. Etat : Good. First Printing [Stated]. x,144 and a photograph section of about 50 pages. Name and address of previous owner inside the front cover. Includes Preface, and 27 black and white photographs of basket ball players. Name of previous owner of this book is written inside the cover. The book contains a preface, as well as chapters on Incentive, Profile, Ivy League, Eastern Tournament, National Championships, and Points and Honors. The second and principal chapter of this book appeared as a Profile in The New Yorker magazine in January of 1965, not long after the start of Bill Bradley's final season as a basketball player at Princeton, when he had only recently returned from the Olympic Games in Tokyo, and when he was obviously headed for his third straight selection as an All-American. The first chapter of the book is background on how the author happened to get interested in Bradley, and of his part--distant from his role as the subject itself--in the development of the book. John Angus McPhee (born March 8, 1931) is an American writer. He is considered one of the pioneers of creative nonfiction. He is a four-time finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in the category General Nonfiction, and he won that award on the fourth occasion in 1999 for Annals of the Former World (a collection of five books, including two of his previous Pulitzer finalists). In 2008, he received the George Polk Career Award for his "indelible mark on American journalism during his nearly half-century career". Since 1974, McPhee has been the Ferris Professor of Journalism at Princeton University. His tenure at Princeton was the subject of Pulitzer Prize-winning author John McPhee's January 23, 1965 article "A Sense of Where You Are" in The New Yorker, which McPhee expanded into a book of the same name. The title came from Bradley's explanation for his ability to repeatedly throw a basketball over his shoulder and into the basket while looking away from it. In 1965, Bradley received the Golden Plate Award of the American Academy of Achievement. Derived from a Kirkus review: What a rare sports book! The story of Princeton's phenomenal basketball superstar, Bill Bradley, constantly takes the reader right in the middle of the action. Seldom has court psychology been better explained, while revealing at the same time a player's temperament. Early in high school Bill put in three and a half hour practice sessions which, along with his natural attributes, resulted in what can only be called a physical genius for the game. His sensibilities are now such that he can shoot baskets backward without seeing the basket and make blind passes to team members merely on intuition. As he analyzes himself, his great faculty is simply having "a sense of where you are". Not a giant by basketball standards, Bradley is a passer rather than a high scorer and prefers the sport of the game to personal glory. Now a post-graduate, he has accepted a Rhodes scholarship to Oxford and turned down a $50,000 offer from the NY Knickerbockers. Twenty-one, and an Olympic champion, he has retired to the cloisters! William Warren Bradley (born July 28, 1943) is an American politician and former professional basketball player. He served three terms as a Democratic U.S. Senator from New Jersey (1979-1997). He ran for the Democratic Party's nomination for president in the 2000 election, which he lost to Vice President Al Gore. While at Oxford, Bradley played one season of professional basketball in Europe and eventually decided to join the New York Knicks in the 1967-68 season, after serving six months in the Air Force Reserve. He spent his entire ten-year professional basketball career playing for the Knicks, winning NBA titles in 1970 and 1973.
