Pittsburgh's dean of sportswriters Jim O'Brien (Looking Up: From the ABA to the NBA the WNBA to the NCAA - A Basketball Memoir; Looking Up Again - A Basketball Memoir) has seen it all in his more than 50 years of chronicling stories across the pro and collegiate sports landscape - but perhaps no more deeply than in basketball, and in more detailed fashion than during the old American Basketball Association.   Throughout the life of the league, you could find O'Brien's reliable ABA reportage and musings seemingly everywhere: essential weekly columns in The Sporting News; meticulous pre-season team & player profiles in the annual Complete Handbook of Pro Basketball; and the hugely influential Street & Smith's Basketball Yearbook (which he co-founded in 1970) - where he strove to ensure the challenger circuit's coverage was equal to that of the legacy NBA's.   We merely scratch the surface of O'Brien's treasure trove of stories from the old "red-white-and-blue" in this week's episode - where you'll hear personal reminiscences of legendary ABA figures like Connie Hawkins, Julius Erving, and (Episode 132 guest) Dan Issel; the significance of the former league's recent fiftieth anniversary; and why Pittsburgh was (both in the antecedent American Basketball League, and thrice-versioned in the ABA), and then wasn't a great pro hoops city.

In April 2003, Jim O’Brien was the first Pittsburgher inducted into the U.S. Basketball Writers Hall of Fame. This book is a celebration of 60th anniversary of a career as a professional sports writer. O'Brien was the founding editor of Street & Smith's Basketball Yearbook in 1970 and continued to be associated with the magazine for more than 35 years. It became the No. 1 selling annual of its kind in the country and the official NBA pre-season magazine. O'Brien also edited The Complete Handbook of Pro Basketball and wrote a column on pro basketball for The Sporting News for nine years. In “Looking Up,” O’Brien tells inside stories of great basketball players, coaches, administrators, writers, and fans. It’s about time spent with tall men, giants of the game, looking up from the best seat in the house. Description courtesy of James P. O’Brien Publications.

Among the topics... - Isaiah Thomas doing stuff we've NEVER seen before, how he's basically a human YouTube video, and how his size is actually a sort of advantage for him. - The evolution of the game, how Rick Pitino & Jim O'Brien were sort of on to something stylistically when it came to 3-point shooting... and how Tommy Heinsohn really outdid them all and would have been playing this style of basketball in the 70's. - Doc Rivers leaving Boston because he absolutely had to, and how that might keep the Celtics for making the one deal some fans want more than anything. - Paul Pierce's return, his maturation, what he means to Boston, and how his redemption might fuel our love for him as much as anything.

This is the first book ever devoted exclusively to Chuck Noll and it is long overdue.  You will learn much about this man who was rated the No.5 coach of all time in a poll taken in 2013. Jim O’Brien has interviewed Noll many times through the years and, most recently, he has interviewed some of the great players from those teams of the ‘70s and ‘80s who shed some interesting light on their coach.  You also catch up on what’s become of those great players from the Steelers when they were the Team of the Decade.  Jim O’Brien is proud to be the only Pittsburgher ever named to the U.S. Basketball Writers Hall of Fame. He was honored at the NCAA Final Four Basketball Tournament in New Orleans in April of 2003. O’Brien has also won the Bob Prince Award for his contributions to journalism, the Vectors’ David L. Lawrence Award for promoting Pittsburgh through his books, and was inducted into the Western Chapter of the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame. He was honored as a “Legend” by the Pittsburgh Chapter of the Italian American Sports Hall of Fame. Currently Jim has written his 18th book in 18 years, his 20th about Pittsburgh and 23nd altogether.
