A little scattershot. A little dated. But, compelling in places. Raw. Solid read if you're down with Phil.

Jackson speaks about teammates, ex-teammates, coaches, ex-coaches, general managers... and a lot of about the Knicks of late 60s and first 70s (the book was written in 1975 and it covers until the end of the 74-75 season). It's highly interesting knowing about his opinions around the league in those years, for he is one or the great characters in the history of NBA, having been around the league several decades.

It's a very personal book, too. Phil Jackson writes here a lot about himself. About his background, his family, his origins, and even about his privacy and intimacy; he dedicates many pages to his reflextions about religion and his own spirituality, his constant search of himself.
