Dvojezična monografija o Borislavu Stankoviću – jednom od istinskih velikana košarkaškog sporta: igraču, treneru, sportskom funkcioneru i iznad svega čoveku čije se ime sa najdubljim poštovanjem izgovara na svakoj tački Zemljine kugle – u isto je vreme i priča o blistavim usponima košarke u Srbiji, Evropi i svetu, o entuzijazmu koji su generacije poklonika igre pod obručima nesebično ugrađivale u napredak košarke, od vremena kada je kanadski profesor Džejms Nejsmit 1891. utemeljio njena pravila, do danas kada je ona globalni sportski fenomen. U brojnom skupu sportista, zaljubljenika košarke, vizionara i stratega koji su na tom putu ostavili trag u vremenu i danas svetle ideje i pregnuća Borislava Stankovića. Kolikim sjajem – to će najbolje sa stranica koje slede osetiti čitalac ove knjige.

U knjizi je, obogaćen nizom fotografija, prikazan životni put Borislava Stankovića, od prvih sportskih pregnuća do prvog čoveka svetske košarke. O tome putu svedoče mnogi košarkaši, treneri, sportski lideri i prijatelji Borislava Stankovića iz čitavog sveta.

This monograph on Borislav Stanković, one of the truly great men of basketball – player, coach, sports administrator and, above all, a man whose name is uttered with the great respect all over the world – is also a book about the golden age of this wonderful game. It tells the story of the brilliant development of basketball in Serbia, Europe and the world, the great enthusiasm that generations of devotees of the game played under the hoop generosly invested in the advancement of basketball, from the time the Canadian professor James Naismith established its rules in 1891 to the present day, when it has become a global sport phenomenon. The ideas and commitment of Borislav Stanković still shine today as a landmark and symbol among the numerous groups of sportsmen/women, devotees of basketball, visionaries and strategists who left a mark on the development of the game over time. This book will show the readers just how brilliantly his achievements shine.

The book, enriched by a series of photographs, follows the life of Borislav Stanković from his beginnings as a player to the position of the first man of world basketball. Testimonies on his life are given by many basketball players, coaches, leaders in sports and Borislav Stanković’s friends from all over the world. Finally and most importantly, it is “Mr. Basketball”, as George Killian – former president of FIBA – called him, himself who talks about his life.
