nicholasgrantgarcia's review
5.0
This is one of the better books that I've read in this series.
Favorites:
The Savior: An encouraging profile of then-rookie Grant Hill, once destined to become the saving power of the NBA, as well as his contrast to Glenn "Big Dog" Robinson.
The End of the World: A touching story about visiting an old track friend -- Mamo Wolde -- then in prison in Ethiopia.
Down and Out: The terrible tragedy of Golden Richards, a man hell-bent on deceiving himself.
Back in Play: The interesting study of Michael Jordan's return to the NBA after his baseball hiatus.
A Native Son's Thoughts: One of two delightful profiles of Cal Ripken Jr., then wildly famous for being about to break Lou Gehrig's ironman streak.
It was very hard to limit my favorites to just five. There were so many great stories in this volume. It's one I would have delight in reading again.
