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.
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.
