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).
Short read with lots of wonderful athletic pictures. Bradley talked about his athletic career, but also about race relations in and out of sports. Very good.
If you are a Bill Bradley fan this is a interesting book. Really intertwines life lessons that can be learned through competitive sports. Well written and a quick read.
One of several books written by the man who should have been president. I have given copies of this book to my girls JV basketball team. It's a nonpreachy discussion of values that ensure success in basketball and in life.
Bradley explores the intersection of basketball and character. Apt not only for coaches and athletes, but also for parents, teachers and young people generally. Lots of good stuff in here.
