Wizard Of Odds

Renowned and bestselling basketball writer Charley Rosen brings us the long-awaited life of Molinas, one of the greatest basketball players of his era, and one of its most notorious cheaters. Drawing on trial transcripts as well as numerous, previously unavailable first-person accounts, including Molinas's own journal, Rosen presents the saga of a man whose manipulation of organized basketball and involvement with the Mafia culminated in his greusome murder. A dark testament to the terrible human power of self-destructiveness. '...a wonderful bit of good writing' - Booklist
