Rosen, Charley

SUMMARY

Among the most talented & brainiest to ever play the game of basketball, Jack Molinas is also credited, by some, with having single-handedly corrupted it. In The Wizard of Odds, renowned & bestselling basketball writer Charley Rosen brings us the long-awaited life of Molinas, one of the greatest basketball players of his era, & one of its most daring cheaters. Drawing on numerous, previously unavailable first-person accounts, including Jack Molinas's own journal, & trial transcripts, Rosen presents the saga of a man who perhaps better than anyone around him understood the weaknesses of the system of organized basketball--so much so that he convinced himself that he could manipulate that system to his advantage with total impunity. From Molinas's sparkling academic career & his days as a NBA All-Star, to his criminal convictions for fixing games & his involvement with the Mafia, culminating in his gruesome murder, The Wizard of Odds is a dark testament to the terrible human power of self-destructiveness.Rosen, Charley is the author of 'The Wizard of Odds: How Jack Molinas Almost Destroyed the Game of Basketball' with ISBN 9781583222683 and ISBN 1583222685.
