Benched: Underrated Teams and Players in NBA History

By Cantly A. Elliott

About the Book
It’s easy to get on social media and talk about the GOAT or have discussions in our barbershop about all-time great players. The truth is, the league is what it is today because of so many great players and teams.
While Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and Kobe Bryant are undeniable greats in NBA history, the sport has also had plenty of other influential players and teams who seem to be overlooked. This book highlights the important people and moments in NBA history that don’t get the credit they deserve.

Acknowledgments

During the process of writing this book, I struggled with research, I struggled with writing and trying to piece things together. Some nights I stayed up until 12 a.m. writing knowing I had to work the next morning at 3 a.m. Sometimes I would stay up until the sun was coming through my blinds and I wouldn’t sleep. Finding a healthy balance was hard at times. However, I was always able to find motivation and inspiration from a number of people, all for different reasons. I want to take a moment to thank those people for being apart of the process and always giving me a reason to believe in myself. Thank you all for being my reason and my why and pushing me to go the extra mile
