Each book in the Creative Sports: NBA Champions series provides a concise, colorfully illustrated introduction to one team in the National Basketball Association. The topics discussed include the team’s history, from its founding to its best seasons, and individuals who have received Most Valuable Player honors. The general information may encourage young fans to become familiar with outstanding players and their roles during the team’s glory days. Other subjects include how the highlighted team’s name was chosen and what it means. Cleveland Cavaliers introduces the city of Cleveland and several outstanding players, including LeBron James. Houston Rockets mentions that when the team moved from San Diego to Houston, their name remained the same, reflecting both cities’ ties to the space program. New York Knicks explains the origin of the team’s name as an aspect of New York’s history. Philadelphia 76ers praises the team’s stars from the past, including Moses Malone, Julius Erving, and Charles Barkley, as well as current players. The book design may attract a somewhat older reader than most introductory volumes on specific teams, and the relatively easy vocabulary is reader friendly. A typical two-page spread includes information on one side, facing a page that usually features an action photo. A good, foundational series, recommended for libraries with young, avid NBA fans.
