Book Reviews of Pete Newell's Playing Big
Book Review: Great book on developing post players - a dying art?!
Summary: 5 Stars
There seem to be more and more big players in the game today, but fewer and fewer true post men with the complete skill set of the great post players of the past. It takes time, knowledge, patience and skill to develop post players.
Pete Newell was the master of developing post players and his summer big man camp for NBA Centers and collegiate centers who were prospects for the NBA was legendary.
Sven Nater, the co-author of this book was the second best center in the nation during his senior season. He just had the misfortune of being Bill Walton's teammate. Nater would go on to lead the NBA in rebounding several times and later won a small college national championship as a college coach.
These two experts on post play do a great job of sharing their knowledge in this book covering a wide range of topics essential to developing great post players.
