Santa Clarita, California Nov 1, 2022 (Issuewire.com) - Now available on Amazon from Greg Hayes, author of Camp With Coach Wooden.
This is the long overdue story of George Yardley, one of the greatest … and most overlooked … NBA players of all time
Known as the Stanford Flash, the California Comet, the Blond Bomber, and the Bald Eagle, Yardley helped usher in the evolution of the modern NBA with a game that transcends generations. He excelled on the greatest basketball stages and broke records of two of basketball’s all-time greatest players… and did so with style and flair.
Most ballplayers of his time would be anachronisms in today's game, but Yardley was the opposite - a colorful anachronism playing in a black-and-white era. He was a high-flyer in an earthbound age, a late bloomer who went to the Hall of Fame, an academically gifted engineer in the athletic world, a devoted family man who left the NBA at the top of his game to focus on being a husband, father, and businessman.
He was The Bird – an all-time great NBA Scoring Machine.
