How the 1984 NBA Draft Changed Basketball Forever
by Filip BondyThe 1984 NBA draft is one of the most controversial in NBA history.
Teams were losing games very suspiciously during the regular season to enhance their draft position.
And who wouldn't, when the draft featured four future members of the Top 50 NBA Player.

Just think how the basketball landscape would have changed had the Houston Rockets traded Ralph Sampson straight up for Michael Jordan! The Bulls would have done it and were waiting for the Rockets to call but Rockets coach Bill Fitch was in love with the twin towers idea.
A previous review is correct - this book is mislabeled. The book spends very little time detailing how this draft changed the NBA forever - but instead focuses on the upbringing and collegiate biographies of Olajuwon, Jordan, Perkins, Barkley, Stockton, and Bowie.
Very good job covering the players written about in the book but pays no attention to the non-stars drafted or how they came to be there.
