Boys Among Men: How the Prep-to-Pro Generation Redefined the NBA and Sparked a Basketball Revolution by Jonathan Abrams

4.0

Jonathan Abrams shined a light on the Preps-to-Pros generation in the NBA and illuminated a point that most who criticize that generation have failed to grasp - The majority of players who jumped from high school to the NBA were more successful than the average NBA player in that time frame. Through the use of copious interviews (in one interview he said over 500) Abrams paints a picture on the stories of that generation of players including both the highs and the lows. It's a wonderful read on an interesting topic that I highly recommend to any basketball fan!
