Of Hoops and Men

Jon Ferguson, the writer, painter, teacher, and philosopher, is also the man who came to Switzerland, by chance, to live and perhaps play basketball in 1973. In this book, we learn that he arrived with one suitcase and $200 in his pocket, but almost half a century later, Ferguson is still with us. With his book Of Hoops and Men, he offers a unique, privileged, sharp and humanistic look at the golden age of Swiss basketball, which he lived through and was a key player, rubbing shoulders with extraordinary men and unsuspected stars.
