Summary

While everyone knows about the growth of basketball in high schools and colleges, the story of Indiana's role in the development of professional basketball has not been told before. It is a lively story of raucous fans, local heroes, and men who loved the game and were willing to play for nickels. Gould covers the three Indianapolis teams - the Em-Rocs, the Kautskys, and the Olympians - and the Fort Wayne Pistons (later the Detroit Pistons), who dominated professional basketball for a number of years. Setting his story within the context of the times, he also discusses some of the teams that the local heroes competed against, including the famous New York Celtics (the original Celtics) and the gifted Harlem Rens (the first all-black professional team).
