Table of ContentsReviews"These lively books offer thumbnail sketches of great players from baseball, basketball, football, and soccer, and highlight their ""unique, iconic, and nearly unstoppable"" signature moves. Readers learn about wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.'s astonishing one-handed touchdown catch, along with gridiron celebrations such as the ""Lambeau leap."" Basketball fans will love Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's ""skyhook"" and Shaquille O'Neal's ""tornado dunk,"" along with Steph Curry's mastery of game-winning three-pointers. Noting that Brandi Chastain caused a stir when she celebrated the US soccer team's win in the 1999 World Cup by taking off her jersey, the author observes that male players have a longstanding tradition of swapping jerseys as a sign of respect for opponents following a memorable game.
