Author: Darryl Dawkins,
Charle Rosen
Hardcover · May 2003
In this shocking, and shockingly entertaining, memoir of a life in basketball, Dawkins, a former NBA star with the Philadelphia 76ers and New Jersey Nets in the 1970s and '80s, takes readers from his earliest days in a poor Florida backwater through his first games as an 18-year-old NBA whippersnapper to later years of hard playing and harder partying.
Dawkins has many professional claims to fame - he is generally credited with elevating the dunk to an art form and being the first to jump from high school to the NBA.
But the best reason to read this book has nothing to do with who Dawkins is and everything to do with what he says. |  |
