About this product
Product Information
The 1981-82 Dunbar Poets were one of the greatest basketball teams of all time. Four players-Muggsy Bogues, Reggie Williams, David Wingate, and Reggie Lewis-would eventually play in the NBA. Their success was due in large part to their coach, Bob Wade, who had made it to the NFL and like his players was a product of inner-city Baltimore. Wade understood both the opportunities and the obstacles, and would not settle for anything but success. The Boys of Dunbar is an unforgettable story of dedication, inspiration, and teamwork.
