Full Court: The Untold Stories of the St. Louis Hawks
by: Marecek, Greg
Full Court tells the story of an often-forgotten but remarkable time in
St. Louis sports history—the era of the NBA’s St. Louis Hawks.
Author Greg Maracek has woven together a compilation of interviews from
the Hawks players to deliver a history of a former perennial power in
the National Basketball Association. Between 1955 and 1968, pro basketball
closely rivaled the attention—and at times outstripped the success—of
baseball’s St. Louis Cardinals. A storied rivalry with the fabled
Boston Celtics is credited by many as the single most important catalyst
to the national growth of NBA interest. Names of Hawks’ stars became
legendary to basketball fans. Leading the way is Hall of Fame superstar
Bob Pettit, the first player to score 20,000 points—and later 25,000—in
a career. Other Hall of Fame Hawks include Cliff Hagan, Slater Martin,
Len Wilkens, and “Easy” Ed Macauley. Pettit’s 50-point
performance in the 1958 championship game, NBA doubleheaders at Kiel Auditorium,
owner Ben Kerner’s sometimes wild and wacky postgame promotions,
division and conference titles, sold-out crowds, Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain,
Bob Cousy, and one incredible St. Louis World Championship season makes
for riveting reading not only for fans of St. Louis sports but also for
lovers of NBA lore. 246 pgs.

of poems—helps him create splendor and grace in a description of
a sunset or shape the mood of a rainy autumn day. Through striking word-pictures
of his life, you will meet Chilly’s irascible, lovable stepfather,
his three sons, and long-dead members of his family whose lives or deeds
touched him and were chronicled. And you will laugh with his neighbors
and friends, whose humor helps them through life in a county that has
been called “one of the poorest in America.” They are not all
saints, nor are the Ozarks heaven—just “paradise with the gate
left off.” 208 pgs.
