The book tells the story of a team with immense promise that would ultimately be squandered by an impatient ownership yet supported by the appreciative Buffalo fans. This large format, hardcover, coffee table style book is chalked full of team photos, stories, and memorabilia that has been under wraps for over 30 years. Each chapter chronicles one of the Braves' seasons playing in the wild and crazy NBA of the 1970's. Author Tim Wendel narrates the on and off court drama, while offering plenty of "what if" scenarios for the Braves' long term potential in a league that was on the brink of greatness.
