Description

Book Synopsis: The Buffalo Braves were one of the most exciting teams ever to grace the courts of the National Basketball Association. Boasting three rookies of the year (Bob McAdoo, Ernie DiGregorio and Adrian Dantley), Hall of Fame coach Dr. Jack Ramsay and local hero Randy Smith, the Braves turned heads with their up-tempo style of play. Each chapter revisits one of the Braves' eight seasons (1970-1978) in the wild and crazy NBA of that era. With a foreword by legendary play-by-play announcer Van Miller and vintage photographs of players and fans, BUFFALO, HOME OF THE BRAVES is a must-read for basketball fans everywhere.
"BUFFALO, HOME OF THE BRAVES revisits the tale of a team with great promise and glory, tempered only by the disappointment of its early departure. Through the vintage photos of Robert Smith ... and a reflective narrative written by Western New York native Tim Wendel, BUFFALO, HOME OF THE BRAVES tells the story that has remained on the shelf for far too long." -- Rick Azar, longtime Buffalo sportscaster
"If you are old enough to remember the Braves, you will love this book for its clear-eyed, unsentimental rendering of the heartbreak and the history. If you are too young to remember, you need this book for an essential understanding of how the Braves' bizarre departure fits into the continuum of Wide Right, No Goal and the terrible specter of "Toronto."-- Erik Brady, The Buffalo Courier-Express Read more
