Description
E very week for 26 years, ESPN??'s SportsCenter has collected seven day??'s worth of the most extraordinary plays (as well as the most bone-headed), controversial calls, last second miracles, and strangest fans in action. Each highlight clip with its commentary is a mini-story about a game, a player, a season. Here are the best of the best: Michael Jordan??'s take-off from the foul line in the 1988 slam-dunk competition; Derek Jeter??'s foul-ball dive to help defeat the Red Sox in 2004; Christian Laettner??'s buzzer beater against Kentucky in the 1992 NCAA Championship; Dwight Clarke completing ???The Catch??? in the 1982 NFC Championship; and Brandi Chastain??'s bra-bearing victory celebration following the 1999 World Cup; and of course Dennis Rodman??'s hair. The book features all of the trademark humor that makes ESPN the first stop and the last word for fans everywhere: hilarious commentary, infectious catchphrases, and unrepentant nicknaming. ESPN 365 Playsof the Year is the first book to bring the nightly excitement of the highlight reel to the page.
