Can't knock the hustle : individualism in hip-hop, hoops, and the drug culture -- Peddling the street : gangsta wannabes, Allen Iverson, and black masculinity -- Power game : Ron Artest, Latrell Sprewell, and politics in the NBA -- The last white superstar : Larry Legend and white nostalgia -- My dad was a military man : Bob Knight, paternalism, and Hoosier history -- The new Globetrotters : why the NBA outsources talent
The true story of basketball lives as much off the court as on the hardwood; it is about politics and race and cultural clashes as heated as a final-four buzzer-beater. This story unfolds in all its gritty and colorful detail in Under the Boards. From the birth of the Larry Bird legend to the ascendancy of a hip-hop-infused NBA to the backlash against bling and the contemporary American game, Jeffrey Lane traces the emergence of a new culture of basketball, complete with competing values, attitudes, aesthetics, and racial and economic tensions
