Every week for 25 years, ESPN's SportsCenter has collected seven days' worth of the most extraordinary plays, controversial calls, last-second miracles, and wackiest fans in action. Each highlight clip is a mini story about a game, a player, a season.

A few of the best of the best: Michael Jordan's takeoff from the foul line in the 1988 slam-dunk competition; Derek Jeter's foul ball dive to help defeat the Red Sox in 2004; Christian Laettner's buzzer-beater against Kentucky in the 1992 NCAA Tournament; Dwight Clark completing The Catch in the 1982 NFC Championship; Brandi Chastain's bra-bearing victory celebration following the 1999 World Cup; and, of course, Dennis Rodman's hair.

You'll find everything that makes SportsCenter the first stop and the last word for fans everywhere: razor-sharp commentary, infectious catchphrases, and unrepentant nicknaming. ESPN Ultimate Highlight Reel is the first book to bring the nightly excitement of the most popular highlight reels in the world to the printed page.
