Book Reviews of The Best Game Ever: How Frank McGuire's '57 Tar Heels Beat Wilt and Revolutionized College Basketball

Book Review: Greatest Gift Ever
Summary: 5 Stars

I gifted this book to my father, a former ACC player and huge college basketball fan. He started reading it the day he got it, went to bed and finsished it the next morning! Even though these games were played over 50 years ago, they are still every bit as exciting today. A MUST read for any college basketball fan.
