An incredably facinating and inspiring book. June 13, 1999
A superbly written book with detailed information that makes you feel like your right there playing in the pick up games. After reading this book it is now a goal of mine to visit the famous Foster Park.
excellent June 2, 1999
possibly the best book I've ever read. It provides a rarely seen insight into the world of city basketball. Definetly a "must read"!
ONE OF THE BEST SPORTS BOOKS I'VE READ May 19, 1999
Many sports books just skim off the top, but this one goes well in depth. It talks in the present and shows you where some of the best ball players have come from and why.
The sociology of inner-city basketball April 14, 1999
With this book Rick Telander has captured the sociology of inner-city basketball. These kids do not see basketball as merely a sport but as a means to an end. It is a ticket to a better way of life that can become an obsession for some (such as Clavin Franks). In this book Telander points out all that is good about basketball and some of the bad. This book should be read by all basketball fans, especially those who dream of playing in the NBA. If you liked this book you should also check out the movie "Soul in the Hole." It is a movie about Brooklyn playground legend Edward "Booger" Smith.
Fantastic. A must read for any basketball fan. March 20, 1999
Anyone interested in basketball and the sociology of sport in the inner city will love this book.
