About this product

Product Information

With unerring insight into the deeper truths of professional sports, John Feinstein explores in riveting detail what happened one night in December 1977 when, as a fistfight broke out on the court between the Houston Rockets and the Los Angeles Lakers, Kermit Washington delivered a punch that nearly killed All-Star Rudy Tomjanovich. The punch -- now legendary in the annals of American sports -- radically changed the trajectory of both men's lives and reverberates throughout the National Basketball Association to this day. Feinstein's compelling investigation of this single cataclysmic incident and its aftermath casts a light on the NBA's darkest secrets, revealing the true price men pay when they choose a career in sports.

    Interesting read for sports fans

    Any true sports fan should read this one. The recounting of the impact a single punch had on the lives of everyone involved and sports in general is fascinating. An important lesson is conveyed, that transcends all sports. There were no winners in this sports brawl. Feinstein does a good job in taking you back to the time frame when the incident occurred. Understanding the NBA at the time, is key to understanding why this happened. Following the key participants to the present helps illuminate the impact on them. Makes me cringe now every time a brawl breaks out in a sporting event. A must read for sports fanatics.
