Under the Boards: The Cultural Revolution in BasketballThe true story of basketball lives as much off the court as on the hardwood; it is about politics and race and cultural clashes as heated as a final four buzzer beater.

The true story of basketball lives as much off the court as on the hardwood; it is about politics and race and cultural clashes as heated as a final-four buzzer-beater. This story unfolds in all its gritty and colorful detail in Under the Boards. From the birth of the Larry Bird legend to the ascendancy of a hip-hop-infused NBA to the backlash against bling and the contemporary American game, Jeffrey Lane traces the emergence of a new culture of basketball, complete with competing values, attitudes, aesthetics, and racial and economic tensions. The revolution Lane describes resonates in the way Latrell Sprewell's assault on his coach forever changed NBA power relations; in legendary coach Bob Knight's entanglement in high school basketball history; in the dramatic shift in attitude toward European players; in the impact of the deaths of two rappers on rookie Allen Iverson's career; and in conflicting cultural models rooted in ideals of black masculinity and white nostalgia. In these moments Lane's book documents a profound change in basketball and in American culture over the last thirty years.Binding Type: Paperback

Very Effective, but Not the Instructions
Size: 150Pk - 8" x 1/2", Style: Cord Wrap Cable Ties, Color: Black and Gray
These work very well, but when you remove them from the box, you see two donuts, one grey, one black, of 75 tightly wrapped cable ties each. So far, so good.
First deficiency: The "how to use" pictures---three of them---are tiny light line drawings in 7/16" x 7/16" boxes. If you don't have a 400-power microscope, maybe a magnifying glass will do. Maybe Velcro---a "name" brand that should know better---thinks that the use of these devices is obvious. Well, "obvious" is obvious only when it's obvious, and that can vary from person to person. They should assume nothing.
Second deficiency: Before trying (and, one hopes, succeeding) at using these ties, one must determine exactly now to remove the first tie from the outside of either donut. Obvious? No, not really, because, as it turned out, it requires some effort to remove the first one---the placement and circumstances of which do not at all (not on my set of these, anyway) suggest in any concrete way which one should be taken first. No one wants to tear up a couple of ties just to figure out how not to tear up ties by removing them incorrectly or out of order.
The punishment here is four stars that could have been five.
