Happy Thursday, everyone! We are right in the middle of the 2016 NBA Finals; Game 3 just took place last night. It's a familiar sight: last year's champions the Golden State Warriors are facing the Cleveland Cavaliers for the second straight year, putting superstars Stephen Curry and LeBron James up against each other for a rematch. The Warriors currently lead two games to one.
In honor of the NBA Finals, I went down to the Archives to find some vintage basketball books for Throwback Thursday. Take a look at these!
I even found a book dedicated specifically to the NBA Finals! (It looks like it was published around Michael Jordan's heyday with the Chicago Bulls in the 90s.)
Scholastic still highlights current players and teams; here are some of the most recent entries in our Basketball Superstars series. It looks like K.C. Kelley took over the basketball beat from Bruce Weber – although I'm sure there were a bunch of authors covering the sport in between now and the late 70s! (And yup, Steph Curry & LeBron James are featured in the 2016 book!)
Special thanks to Scholastic librarian Deimosa Webber-Bey for her help with this series!
