Keeping up with the fascinating facts about basketball can make your brain feel like it's been dribbled down the court! You hear about great players (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was named NBA MVP six times), powerful dynasties (the Minnesota Lynx have won two of the last three WNBA championships), and huge performances (Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points in a single game). Colorful infographics convey key information about basketball--such as diagramming plays, explaining game strategies, and celebrating record holders. Content-rich "data art" allows readers to take in information through visual literacy skills. The vibrant infographics on each spread appeal to struggling readers and offer a foothold on understanding information and statistics.
