Description
In December 1977, a violent on-court confrontation nearly claimed the life of All-Star Rudy Tomjanovich—and forever altered the career and public image of Kermit Washington. Through meticulous reporting, the book reconstructs the incident and traces its lasting impact on both men, their families, and the NBA. It also examines the league’s culture, the pressures of professional basketball, and the way one shocking moment reshaped how the sport understood violence, responsibility, and redemption.
