Funniest book ever.

This book is just like Jayson Williams. Easily accessible and full of quips and stories. In the book, Williams tells many humorous tales of NBA hi-jinks. However, he contrasts these by telling stories of the racism and prejudice he encountered as a young child in South Carolina. The book thus achieves a good balance between humor and poignancy. I would recommend this to everyone, not just sports fans.

I actually liked, and admired Jayson Williams before I read this book - um...after the book - not so much. He's got a hugely inflated ego, and a very high opinion of himself. Garbage, drivel - please don't waste your time.

He's a bit of an Arse. Cheats in school, throws people under the Bus.

Book had me bursting out laughing. It also made me shake my head at some of his stories, it read fast

Absolutely hilarious. If you followed the NBA during the 90's, you have to read this one. Lots of observations about his teammates and opponents.

What an insufferable boor. Sexist, sniping, and clearly impressed with every thought that bubbles forth from the vaporous ether of his mind. There are a few interesting basketball anecdotes, and his father is a jewel, but don't waste a dime on this. Get it from the library instead, and only if you can't find a better basketball book.

Ironically I read this book not too long before the shooting incident at his home. In his book he discussed the the guns used in the incident.

Depressing to read this now knowing how far he has fallen, hopefully he can get it together again.

Similar to Tim Donaghy's book, it feels like a sizable portion of this is either made up or quite exaggerated.

This wasn't a cohesive book so much as a collection of semi-related anecdotes. Some were very interesting or funny or touching, others were not. It's sad reading this now and knowing how his life has turned out.

This was a fun memoir for anyone who's at all interested in the NBA. Reading about what a hard-working and generous person Jayson Williams is (or was) makes it all the more heartbreaking to see the mess he's turned his life into since his retirement.

Funny =)
