Description
This fascinating book reveals that Chinese Americans began ?shooting hoops? nearly a century before Chinese superstar Yao Ming turned pro. Drawing on interviews with players and coaches, Outside the Paint takes readers back to San Francisco in the 1930s and 1940s, when young Chinese American men and women developed a new approach to the game?with fast breaks, intricate passing and aggressive defense?that was ahead of its time.
