Our zippers are made in the YKK factory in California, our thread is from Georgia and our tags are printed in Chicago.

At its core, basketball is simple. All you need is a ball and a hoop. Any pavement will suffice. A full team of five on five isn’t even required. However, when it comes to the National Basketball Association, the sport is anything but simple. The bounce of a ball. The swoosh of the net. The roar of the crowd. Everything becomes heightened when these giants among men take to the court—simply spectacular. Perhaps the only time the word “simple” can be used when describing the NBA.

The latest addition to Assouline’s magnificent Ultimate collection explores the 100 most significant moments in the history of the NBA. In Basketball: The Impossible Collection, renowned journalist Howard Beck recounts unforgettable events both on and off the court, accompanied by inspiring visuals showcasing the impact of the league across the globe. Housed in an embossed rubber clamshell that resembles the iconic orange basketball, this title is filled with NBA legends from Wilt Chamberlain to Michael Jordan, from Allen Iverson to LeBron James, and replete with everything from backboard-breaking dunks to championship-winning buzzer beaters.

Author Howard Beck, a senior writer at The Ringer, has been covering the NBA full-time since 1997, including seven years on the Lakers beat for the Los Angeles Daily News and nine years on the Knicks beat for The New York Times. He also covered the league on a national basis for Bleacher Report and Sports Illustrated. Beck’s writing has been honored multiple times by the Associated Press Sports Editors (APSE) and the Professional Basketball Writers Association (PBWA)
