Award-winning sportswriter and author of The Plain Dealer, Terry Pluto gives readers a frank and honest opinion of the National Basketball Association in the 1990s as it dealt with a low level of support following the extraordinary popularity it saw in the 80s.

Pulling back the curtain on the struggles of the NBA in the mid-1990s, sportswriter Terry Pluto shares first-hand insight on how the league maneuvered some of its hardest seasons yet.

Teams with superstar players that couldn't make free throws, coaches getting blank checks from their all-star players when there were no fines for the season, and ill-chosen spokesmen of shoe companies are just a few of the hardships that struck the NBA.

Through interviews and discussions with coaches, owners, refs, players, broadcasters, and general managers, Falling from Grace reveals what was going wrong with professional basketball and what must be done to save it.
