In this visual tour de force, celebrated artist Kadir Nelson weds his love for the game with showstopping paintings that bring its heart-pounding history to life. The sage voice of an elder player narrates the journey from the early days of the slow game of "basket ball" to today's dazzlingly athletic and fast-paced sport. Engaging profiles of revolutionary players -- including Wilt Chamberlain, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and Stephen Curry -- are featured, along with notable quotes from major figures of the game. With each breathtaking page turn, fans young and old will learn the gripping story of the all-American game and meet its iconic, indomitable heroes.]]></description><link>https://vpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S38C10842740</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://vpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S38C10842740</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Nelson, Kadir]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://vpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/10842740038</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780316209403/MC.GIF&amp;client=vancp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Heart and Soul]]></title><link>https://vpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S38C7593731</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://vpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S38C7593731</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Nelson, Kadir]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://vpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/7593731038</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>The Story of America and African Americans</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780062184108/MC.GIF&amp;client=vancp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nelson Mandela]]></title><description><![CDATA[Presents a biography of the former South African president best known for his political activism and fight to end apartheid.]]></description><link>https://vpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S38C3244232</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://vpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S38C3244232</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Nelson, Kadir]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://vpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3244232038</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780061783746/MC.GIF&amp;client=vancp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Heart and Soul]]></title><description><![CDATA[An simple introduction to African-American history, from Revolutionary-era slavery up to the election of President Obama.]]></description><link>https://vpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S38C2732637</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://vpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S38C2732637</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Nelson, Kadir]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://vpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2732637038</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Story of America and African Americans</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780061730740/MC.GIF&amp;client=vancp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's Got the Whole World in His Hands]]></title><description><![CDATA[A picture-book interpretation of one of America's best-known songs, focusing on landscapes and images of a boy and his family.
