Pipeline to the Pros: How D3 Small-Colleghe Nobodies Rose to Rule the NBA by Ben Kaplan, Danny Parkins

informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

 Super informative book about how D3 players and coaches went from being “nobodies” in the NBA world, to being represented throughout the modern game. Had no idea so many prominent execs and coaches got their start in the lower levels of college basketball. Loved reading about how important diversity of background, experience, and perspective was to so many of the league’s most successful franchises and that they’re actively looking for ways to increase that diversity. If you love the NBA or just basketball in general, this is a great book to pick up to understand one under the radar reason for how the current league got to this point!
