Boxed out of the NBA
Remembering the Eastern Professional Basketball League
This book tells the story of the Eastern Professional Basketball League. Formed in the 1940s, it was a pro basketball institution for over 30 years, featuring top players who just couldn't make the NBA-because of scandals, because they weren't quite good enough, or because of unofficial quotas on black players.
