Media reviews

Pickup Artists is an unusually well-written and astute picture of the ways that basketball has evolved in this country ... An exemplary piece of reporting and writing, transcending sports to give us a somber view of America’s crumbling cities.”—Kirkus Reviews

“A passionately but conscientiously assembled book. Riveting profiles give life to figures both forgotten and never heard of, while a long overdue history of basketball’s most elemental version is a valuable contribution to the game's historiography.”—Alexander Wolff, Senior Writer for Sports Illustrated

“Anderson and Millman obviously know their subject and have done a wonderful job tracking down playground heroes.”—Minneapolis Star Tribune

“The book’s strength lies in its characterization of the numerous figures, both tragic and comic, who have played out roles on the nation’s asphalt stages ... A meticulously researched, richly written look at a vital part of American popular culture.”—Philadelphia Inquirer
