This single-volume graphic history traces the evolution of basketball from its invention by James Naismith in 1891 through its rise into a global phenomenon. Written by Fred Van Lente and illustrated by Joe Cooper, it covers key moments, players, and cultural shifts in the sport's development, presented in an engaging comic-book format.
