Can I Keep My Jersey?: 11 Teams, 5 Countries, and 4 Years in My Life as a Basketball Vagabond by Paul Shirley

4.0

This is an irreverent look at one man's life on the margins of the NBA. Shirley, a decidedly grumpy commentator, can't stand the Jesusification of pro sports, the limited range of conversational topics, and being away from home for the holidays. Even so, he can't seem to tear himself away from the NBA dream. This is a great read which makes me fairly jealous of the author--he majored in mechanical engineering at Iowa State (not a slouch school), played pro basketball, and is a good writer. What next, Top Chef?
