"In many ways basketball was a lens through which I looked at life—I had learned to make judgments about character from what I saw players do on the court." —Bill Bradley Bradley, former U.S. senator and presidential candidate and member of two championship New York Knicks teams, returns to the scene of his first career, and first passion, in Values of the Game. In ten esssays, filled with personal observations and reflections, he illustrates how the "right stuff" on the court—risking a last-second shot, staying in shape and playing hard, making the unselfish pass, not giving in until the final buzzer—is a proving ground for the "right stuff" in life. More than one hundred dramatic photographs of the best of the NBA—from legends Elgin Baylor and Bob Cousy, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird, to such stars as Kobe Bryant and Grant Hill, to the greatest ever, Michael Jordan—exemplify the power of courage, discipline, selflessness, respect, and fair play.

This is a good coffee table book if you appreciate basketball from yesteryear. I enjoyed the photos and reading some of the stories. I gave it 3-stars because although it was fun, it wasn't deep enough, but I don't think it was meant to be.

Full disclosure: I am a Bill Bradley mark. Inherited it from my Knick-fan Dad, so even reading this book my Dad bought at the Grand Union supermarket in 1999 (receipt was in there as a bookmark) made this worthwhile for me. That aside, this was a good telling by a Hall-of-Famer of the values that drive elite basketball players the people and competitors they are. Of course, if you read just barely below the surface, these values apply to life no matter what you do.
An easy, quick read made more enjoyable by the photos, especially of players from the old days (at least for me).
