3-0 out of 5 stars Some interesting insights from Slick about Seattle and the NBA
I grew up a Sonics fan in the era of Slick Watts.While I played basketball in various youth and school leagues, we all knew about the fast, bald, guy with the headband and big smile.Slick was "one of us".A short guy playing with giants, with seemingly little more than heart and determination.So, when I saw the book, I wanted to relive some of those memories and get the inside scoop.
4-0 out of 5 stars Tell me more
As I started this book, I couldn't put it down, so I walked to the cashier and bought it. Great memories from a great time in my life. This book is well written and has a great story for any Sonics or basketball fan. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Her great story
I was already a huge fan of Rebecca Lobo before reading this book. 'The Home Team' gives you a look into the lives of Rebecca and Ruthann Lobo. It's such a real look at how their lives truly are and how much they love each other. After reading this book I was blown away by the courage both of these amazing women have shown in thier lives.

5-0 out of 5 stars How I feel about the book and why
I really love this book! I did not want to put it down. A couple ofreasons I love the book is because now I know she was a normal child onceand she did'nt always play basketball. I also liked it because her momtalked about her life. Now I know they had problems just like any otherfamily does.

5-0 out of 5 stars A moving story
This book is a must read for all WNBA fans.Rebecca Lobo's life is revealed in many aspects, that of her point of view and her mother.It talks about many issues such as Ruthanne's struggle with breast cancer and how the family dealt with it.As a 15 year old girl, reading is not one of my favorite pastimes.When I heard of a book about my idol Rebecca Lobo, I decided maybe I should give reading a try.I finished the story in a total of two days and found myself waking up in the middle of the night wanting to know what was going to happen next.It is an extremely moving book in which I fould that it was very easy to relate to.As a basketball player, some of Rebecca Lobo's theories such as playing basketball to relive stress and cope with problems I use also. It gave a new perspective to why I am two different people a hustler and leader on the court and a shy and proscinator off of it.Athlete or not, this book will get you moving.It will leave the message inyour heard that anything is possible and it will help you to get out and reach that goal that you have been striving for. ...

3-0 out of 5 stars Good book, but began to drag
I am a die-hard basketball fan and read almost anything that has to do with basketball. I have read NBA biographies before this one, and this one wasn't the best. The book started off great. The description of his playing, his injuries, his coaching, all great. But near the end of the book, it began to drag. I remember a lot of that book, but I do not particularly recall much of the ending. The team trainer story was interesting, but other than that, he seemed to be filling pages. This book was way too long. The Grant Hill book ("Change the Game") was a good book that was short but got to the point. I can recall a decent amount of that book, but it's been awhile since I read it. The Tomjanvich book might be a nice title to pick up, but don't expect too much from it.

4-0 out of 5 stars A must have for every Rocket`s fan
Rudy T is one of the great choches in NBA history and here is his book filled with his experience and memories. This is a book for you if you are a Houston Rocket`s fan or if you like biographys. The only bad thing is he spents talkin about his chilhood too much time.

5-0 out of 5 stars Rudy T Does It Again
Rudy T has proven that he has the heart of a champion.This book renewed the excitment I felt for the Rockets as Rudy lead his team to back-to-back championships. You can really see how down to earth and honest Rudy is through this book. Thanks Rudy ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars A fun read
Big House was a great coach - the fifth best in history of college basketball but more importantly he was a guy with a sense of values and a good sense of humor.He knows basketball as well as anyone in the country and has some candid comments about how to improve the game.But his real commitment was to the students he coached.He experienced the bitter bite of segregation - working for an HBCU called Winston Salem State - but his memoir is better than a rant - it is a reflection of his insight and integrity. ...

3-0 out of 5 stars Interesting (but I don't agree with the order of the top 25)
Nice topic for a basketball book, especially since the true pivot player is as rare as a dinosaur in today's game. Just a bunch of 3 pt shooting 7 footers running around (except for Dwight Howard & Yao Ming). But I definately disagree with placing Kareem only third. He was the greatest force on offense and defense the game has ever known. No disrespect to the late Wilt the stilt. The fact that he lead the league in assists one year is a bit miss leading, that particular year Wilt abstained from shooting very much. What impresses me more about Wilt is the 27 per game rebound avgs in 2 separate seasons and the fact he never fouled out of a game which was strangely omitted from his many accomplishments, listed in the book. However he shot only 51% from the line, a major flaw. To my surprise Russell only shot 56% lifetime, this is not good, if teams would play hack a Wilt or hack a Russell they would be in trouble, on the other hand Kareem shot 71% and even higher in the clutch. Many games between two evenly matched teams may come down to freethrows a very small margin for error. Karrem's my numeral uno with Wilt a close second and Russell third,without a doubt the greatest defensive center for all times.
2-0 out of 5 stars Book okay but binding stinks
My husband really wanted this book for christmas based on some TV show interview he watched but after reading the review about the binding, I went to a local bookstore to check it out for myself. All FOUR copies had binding problems. When I opened the book, the pages started to break off so the store is returning them all.1-0 out of 5 stars Publisher's Fault
BEWARE!! I bought this book at Borders, then got in a line for Willis Reed to sign it.While waiting, I turned the pages back & forth a few times - it's a photo book primarily - and the pages began to fall out.I exchanged it for another, and those pages began to fall out.I paged through five more books, and their pages began to fall out, so I got my money back & didn't buy it.The store management said they were aware of the problem.The binding is so horrible that if you use it as it's intended - to look through over & over again - the pages will fall out (at least in all the books shipped to that Borders).It would have been especially horrible to give as a gift - not worth the money!A book is supposed to stay as a book. ...

The best thing about this book is the pictures.

5-0 out of 5 stars Hear it from the best
Any Portland, Oregon or Pacific Northwest sports fan will dig heavily into Schoneley's story. He's a great bridge between a time when major league sports was still a family operation and now. And it's more than just oneman's story: It's a fascinating microcosm of the business in the secondhalf of the century.
