Description

In The Wizard of Odds, renowned and best-selling basketball creator Charley Rosen brings us for the first time the full life story of Jack Molinas, one of the vital greatest basketball players of his era, a man whose gambling addiction and hubris caused his ultimate demise. Drawing on a lot of, in the past unavailable first-person accounts, including Jack Molinas’s own journal and trial transcripts, Rosen presents the actual saga of a man who possibly better than any individual around him understood the weaknesses of the system during which he lived—such a lot in order that he convinced himself that he could manipulate that system to his advantage with total impunity, in a life’s journey that took him from NBA play to the Mafia and the pornographic film industry, and to an ultimate tragic destiny.
