Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

As a lifelong NBA fan, I was captivated by 'Collision Course'. Cook's deep dive into the league's formative years is both enlightening and entertaining, filled with anecdotes and insights that challenge our modern perceptions of the game. Guccion's narration is a perfect fit, his voice steady and engaging, bringing the characters and their stories to life. However, I found the pacing a tad slow in places, and some of the detailed game descriptions could have been condensed to keep the story moving. Overall, though, this is a fantastic listen for anyone interested in the history of the NBA.
