He takes us on a fascinating journey through the history of the three-point shot. His detailed and entertaining story of the three-pointer as a game-changing element in basketball not only gives fans a chance to relive some most memorable moments from the NBA past, but also offers an original and well-documented account of the ways in which basketball has developed as a spectator sport in the last four decades. The book is certainly worth giving it a shot. Zbigniew Mazur, author, The Power of Play: Leisure, Recreation, and Cultural Hegemony in Colonial Virginia Like baseballs home run and the six in cricket, basketballs three point ball is guaranteed to produce excitement. In this well-researched, insightful and highly entertaining book, Muniowski does justice to this innovation in a series of cameos of the key moments in its development. The long-distance shot, he argues, is here to stay.Alan Bairner, Loughborough University, joint editor of the Routledge Handbook of Sport and Politics
