Reviews
"A half century ago, Archie Clark brought the iconic crossover move to pro basketball, which I named, 'The Shake and Bake.' Today, people argue about who had the greatest crossover move ever. Well, I've seen them all. In my opinion, the best crossover still belongs to the originator, Archie Clark."--Sonny Hill, sports radio personality and the "Mayor of Philadelphia Basketball", "I had the good fortune of meeting Archie Clark while I was an undergrad at UCLA and he was playing for The Lakers. Archie is one of those unique people who has an awesome insight about life, which in my opinion, is extraordinary. When you read this book you will understand what I'm talking about."--Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, "Written with Bob Kuska, Clark's Shake & Bake: The Life and Times of NBA Great Archie Clark provides the reader with a behind-the-scenes look at the likes of Elgin Baylor, Jerry West, and head coach Gene Shue, to name a few."--Lukasz Muniowski, Sport in American History, "Any basketball fan who followed the game during the era in which Clark played will enjoy this book immensely as it felt like it would take the reader into a time machine when professional basketball had a very different look than it does today."--Lance Smith, Guy Who Reviews Sports Books, "Any basketball fan who followed the game during the era in which Clark played will enjoy this book immensely as it felt like it would take the reader into a time machine when professional basketball had a very different look than it does today."-- Guy Who Reviews Sports Books, "Bob Kuska is one of the very best basketball writers in the world, as this deep and fascinating exploration into the life and times of Archie Clark so convincingly demonstrates. Kuska's obviously driven by a tremendous love of the game, but it goes much, much further than that. He unfolds the life and times of Clark in a way that allows us to understand the man, the era, and the contributions of this unsung, overlooked gem of a competitor."--Roland Lazenby, author of Showboat: The Life of Kobe Bryant, "Archie Clark originated the crossover dribble. His story is a representative tale of the crosscurrents that were convulsing the NBA in the turbulent 1960s and 1970s that featured the legendary figures of the game from Wilt to West and defined the court in many different ways. Bob Kuska tells the story of these vivid events in granular depth and detail."--Sam Smith, author of The Jordan Rules, "Interested in pro basketball history? You've got to read this book about Archie Clark, one of the all-time NBA greats on and off the court."--Joe Caldwell, "I had the good fortune of meeting Archie Clark while I was an undergrad at UCLA and he was playing for the Lakers. Archie is one of those unique people who has an awesome insight about life, which, in my opinion, is extraordinary. When you read this book you will understand what I'm talking about."--Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, "Archie Clark's words became the impetus of my Supreme Court ruling that toppled the NBA's four-year rule and took me to Seattle. Archie is a tremendous person who helped a lot of people get ahead in the pre-merger NBA. If you want to know more about this critical era of pro basketball, this is your book!"--Spencer Haywood
Synopsis
Shake and Bake is the story of Archie Clark, one of the top playmaking guards in the 1970s pre-merger NBA. While not one of the game's most recognized superstars, Clark was a seminal player in NBA history who staggered defenders with the game's greatest crossover dribble ("shake and bake") and is credited by his peers as the originator of today's popular step-back move. Signed as the Lakers third-round draft pick in 1966, Clark worked his way into the starting lineup in his rookie year. But Clark was more than a guaranteed double-double whenever he stepped on the floor. He was a deep-thinking trailblazer for players' rights. Clark often challenged coaches and owners on principle, much to the detriment of his career and NBA legacy, signing on as a named litigant in the seminal Robertson v. NBA antitrust case that smashed the player reserve system and jump-started the modern NBA. So lace up your high-top Chuck Taylors, squeeze into a pair of short shorts, and shake and bake back in time to the days of Wilt, Russell, Oscar, Jerry, Elgin, Hondo--and Archie.

- i***y (712)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificada2 volumes of Pogo comic strips, new and in perfect condition. Price was good, but shipping cost ($30 for two books) seems like a lot for how long it took to get delivered (23 days from Illinois to Spain). Also, seller communication was not great. First two times I wrote, their response did not address question. Third response explained at length about the private courier service they use and how it should take 1-10 business days to deliver. Maybe they should consider a different courier service.
- o***l (310)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Último añoCompra verificadaThe item was described to a Tee. Very good communication. Shipping was just a little slow. The box the set of books comes in was damaged (bent corners) due to packaging. Not a deal breaker because the grand kids will not store in that box; might be if it were to be given as a present. The three books in the box arrived in prefect shape. I WOULD purchase from greatbookprices1 again in the future. ThanksConstruction Site Board Books Set, Hardcover by Rinker, Sherri Duskey; Lichte...

- r***_ (108)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificada*Same as the other review* Purchased two box sets from this seller with one being advertised as "like new" but was delivered as if it was actually new. Shipping time was a little slow, takes about 10 days to ship out and it takes a while to get through the system. But the packing was great and I'm still overall happy with my purchase.
