Book

Parting Shots

1985

Synopsis

"Parting Shots" is the autobiography of Dan Issel, a former professional basketball player who spent the bulk of his career with the Kentucky Colonels and Denver Nuggets in the 1970s and early 80s. He was a star player in both the ABA (American Basketball Association) and NBA (National Basketball Association).

The book likely covers Issel's upbringing and college career playing for the University of Kentucky, his professional career in both the ABA and NBA leagues, his coaching experience after retirement, and probably also provides his perspectives and opinions (the "parting shots" of the title) on basketball and the evolution of the game during his era.
