Excerpt:Position: Forward Ben Dowdell (27 September 1988, Nowra , NSW) is an Australian basketballer currently playing for Santa Clara University , California. He was a member of the 2007 Australian U/19 Men's team who finished 5th at the 2007 World Championships recording just one loss in the tournament. He is the brother of current Perth Wildcats forward Jeff Dowdell . He is known for his sense of humour, where he regularly takes questions not so seriously . Dowdell is regarded by many writers as one of Australian Basketball's brightest talents , and has been named in several All Star and Merit teams. At Santa Clara University, Dowdell has become somewhat of a cult hero, with many students waving the Australian flag and chanting the common Australian cheer "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie...Oi, Oi, Oi!" at basketball games. The "Ruff Riders" student section at Santa Clara appreciates Dowdell's hustle on the court and his outgoing, happy go lucky personality off of it.

Excerpt: Selected by Los Angeles Lakers Jerry Alan West (born May 28, 1938) is a retired American basketball player who played his entire professional career for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). His nicknames include "Mr. Clutch" for his ability to make a big play in a clutch situation; "The Logo" in reference to his silhouette being incorporated into the NBA logo; and "Zeke from Cabin Creek" after the creek near his birthplace of Chelyan, West Virginia. Playing the small forward position early in his career, West was a standout at East Bank High School and at West Virginia University, leading the WVU Mountaineers to the 1959 NCAA championship game, earning Most Valuable Player honors despite the loss. He then embarked on a 14-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers, and was the co-captain of the 1960 U.S. Olympic gold medal team in Rome. Wests NBA career was highly successful. Playing the guard position as a professional, he was voted 12 times into the All-NBA First and Second Teams, was elected into the NBA All-Star Team 14 times, and was chosen as the Most Valuable Player of the All-Star game in 1972, the same year that he won his single NBA championship ring. He is the all-time NBA record holder of points-averaged during a playoffs series (46.3) and, as a testament to his two-way play, a member of the first four NBA All-Defensive Teams which were introduced when he was 32 years old. Having played in nine NBA Finals, he is also the only player in NBA history to have won the NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award despite being on the losing t...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=331363 ...
