About the author

Matt Doeden was born in southern Minnesota and lived parts of his childhood in Golden Valley, Minnesota, and Madison, Minnesota. He studied journalism at Mankato State University, where he worked at the college newspaper for three years. In his senior year, he served as the paper's Sports Editor, which put him in charge of the entire sports section, the sports writers, and the photographers. He covered mostly college sports, but also the Minnesota Vikings, who held training camp at MSU.

This book called The Greatest Basketball Records by Matt Doeden. This is a very good book it is like The Greatest Football Records except this is a basketball book that gives statistics about basketball. They tell the same things like records and stuff. I like this book because it tells about all the record breaking players and like team statistics about like the most points scored in a game and most overtimes in history. This book gives alot of info and it is really short it is very interesting. I would recommend this book for basketball players and followers.
