I'm finishing up Blaine Johnson's great What's Happening'? right now, but before giving you a full-fledged review here's an amazing paragraph from page 125:
“I’m struck again by the comments of the longtime veterans and coaches who span what apparently was a very different era in pro basketball. The league has been diluted by expansion, players are making incredible salaries, many of them guaranteed before he ever plays a pro game. Almost all the arenas are new and shiny, the travel is … first class. … Pro basketball is drawing unprecedented attendance and TV ratings.”Johnson wrote those words in 1977.

I've had that book on my shelf for over 10 years and have yet to read it. I guess I'd better get on it!
