Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Basketball," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Basketball in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Basketball when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Basketball, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more

A history of the Timberwolves (seasons one and two)
You know, either there just is not the sense of history with a basketball team that there is with a baseball team, or the Minnesota Timberwolves just have a history that no one really wants to remember before the arrival of Kevin Garnett.Richard Rambeck, who wrote a history of the Minnesota Twins, does the same honor for the T-Wolves.He covers the history of professional basketball in the Twin Cities, which allows a few comments on George Mikan and the glory days of the Minneapolis Lakers, but then the Timberwovles take the court in 1990.But all this book really talks about are the first two seasons of an expansion franchise, when the team lost a ton of games and the roster changed pretty much every other week.That means we are talking about forgettable players like Felton Spencer and Tod Murphy, or those who had success with other teams, such as Luc Longley and Tony Campbell.

However, the fault, dear fans, is not in Rambeck's writing but in the stars, or lack of them, that afflicted Minnesota for most of that decade.This is a concise history of the team's firsttwo years of existence, which, of course, if now woefully out of date.I am sure the only reason they bothered was because this was part of a series for all the NBA teams.Maybe if we were talking the Lakers or the Celtics, teams with rich, storied histories, things would be different.But I think most fans would be happy to forget there were T-Wolves before Kevin Garnett showed up in the fall of 1995.Now, if they could just get past the first round of the playoffs. ...
