A Eulogy for Professional Basketball in Idaho dives into the history of the now-defunct Idaho Stampede, a minor league basketball franchise that played nearly 20 years in Boise. At the time of its relocation to Salt Lake City by the Utah Jazz (its NBA parent club), the Idaho Stampede was the second-longest running minor league basketball franchise in America and had outlasted more than 40 high-level minor league basketball organizations since the team began play in the Continental Basketball Association in 1997.
Relive the last game in team history through the eyes of a Stampede superfan who was in attendance for the team's inaugural game, and learn about the Stampede's successes, failures and eventual relocation through the team's founder, community members and former players, coaches and employees.
A Eulogy for Professional Basketball in Idaho is a great read for die-hard hoops fans, people interested in minor league lore and anyone else who wants to hear a story that will otherwise go largely untold.
