Synopsis
Irascible, opinionated, and absolutely brilliant, Rick Barry was named one of the fifty greatest players to have ever competed in professional basketball. A natural on the court, Barry possessed the physical ability, quick mind, and God-given talent to play among the best. Now, Basketball Hall of Famer Rick Barry challenges all those who pride themselves on their knowledge of sports with his unique book of trivia.
Drawing information from the history, legends, and lore of basketball, baseball, football, boxing, hockey, auto racing, and more, Barry has created a series of quizzes that are guaranteed to provide hours of entertainment and fun. But unlike other trivia books that simply supply the answers to the questions, this book includes interesting information along with each answer—you'll actually learn as you play!
Rick Barry's knowledge of sports results in a trivia book with a spin that's more challenging than a fastball. If you're ready for a game that is interesting, educational, and always fun to play, Rick Barry's Super Sports Trivia Game is the way to go.
About the Author:
Rick Barry gained national attention as a basketball player for the University of Miami when he became the 1965 NCAA Scoring Champion, averaging 37.4 points per game. A year after being drafted by the San Francisco Warriors, he was named NBA Rookie of the Year. In 1967, Barry was named the All-Star Game MVP, and in 1969, he led the Oakland Oaks to an ABA championship. Amazingly, by the time he retired, he was a twelve-time all-star; was the only player to lead the NCAA, ABA, and NBA in scoring; and had the second-best career free-throw percentage in NBA history, at 90 percent.
Today, Rick Barry hosts a popular San Francisco sports talk-radio show, writes a sports column for the San Francisco Examiner, and is a basketball coach consultant for professional players and teams. He is also actively involved in improving organized youth sports as an owner of the United States Basketball Academy.

March 20, 2005: I purchased this book and was impressed with the level of the questions. I gleaned many interesting facts from this volume which I had never known before (such as Muhammad Ali throwing his gold medal into the river). I highly recommend this book to anybody interested in trivia. Two thumbs up to Rick Barry !
