Description
Dive into the history of the France basketball team through 30 emblematic jerseys.
Worn by iconic players who played in the greatest European clubs or in NBA, they are the symbols of competitions and legendary games, of great exploits and great disappointments of the Blues. But, beyond the sporting framework, each jersey embodies and tells a page of the great history of this sport; it is the witness of a particular period and culture, of an atmosphere and a fashion...
Thanks to numerous unpublished archives and a great deal of research work, this book gives the floor to privileged witnesses of French basketball who, from Vincent Collet to Catherine Malfois, from Moustapha Sonko to Rudy Gobert, give themselves up in exclusive interviews.
On the borderline between sport and culture, "L'Etoffe des héros" is an absolutely exceptional and unique book that invites you on a journey of nearly one hundred years to the heart of French basketball.
