About this ebook
A courtside seat to four decades of professional basketball. Elevated, edited by Hall of Fame honoree Harvey Araton, traces basketball's sustained boom from Magic and Bird to the present. Both the iconic moments and those quieter, but no less meaningful times in between are here, from Wise riding around Los Angeles with a young Kobe Bryant on the eve of his first All-Star Game, to Stein declaring Giannis Antetokounmpo's "unspeakable greatness" to the world in a riveting profile.
This expertly curated collection features exclusive new writing by Araton and postscripts from the original journalists, revealing candid exchanges with NBA greats that didn't make the original newspaper edit and tracing the rise of a worldwide phenomenon from a contemporary vantage point. Elevated provides a courtside seat to four decades of professional basketball.

- Explore the evolution of the NBA, the impact of social issues, and the lives of iconic players.
