{"product_id":"9781418496364","title":"The Game Changer: How Hank Luisetti Revolutionized America's Great Indoor Game","description":"\u003cp\u003e“Hank, the nimble; Hank, the quick; Hank, the human corkscrew; Hank, as fast as light; Hank, the rubber-boned man,” wrote Roy Cummings after seeing a 19-year-old Hank Luisetti perform for the first time in 1936. Cummings sat alone in a deserted gym trying to describe to his readers what he had just witnessed on the basketball court.  Luisetti, who learned the game to a background chorus of fog horns and gulls on San Francisco Bay, would later that year introduce New York’s basketball legions to the jump shot. Now Philip Pallette has created a riveting account of the basketball life of this eminently shy and decent young man who transformed Stanford basketball from a group of fun-loving dabblers into national champions. \u003ci\u003eThe Game Changer\u003c\/i\u003e is a book that rediscovers the long-forgotten adulation basketball fans felt for Luisetti by tracing his journey from boyhood on to becoming basketball’s first matinee idol and the man who changed basketball forever.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AuthorHouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47121870684400,"sku":"9781418496364","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781418496364_p0.jpg?v=1763727784","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781418496364","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
