"I can say nothing bad about this classic tale of a self-deprecating, conflicted individual. Had I been 6'10" and afforded all that came with it, I might have created something quite similar."
"What's it like being a marginally talented, funny, gigantic white dude who gets to rub elbows with the likes of Kobe and Shaq but is never quite sure how and why he got there? Find out here. Basketball's Klosterman"
"With this book, Shirley landed himself on my list of People Who'd Be Fun To Have a Beer With - snarky, a bit mordant, well-deployed violations of political correctness, etc. Very enjoyable for anyone who yearns to know that impatience with idiocy is alive and well, even in the overly earnest sports world."
"Life as a professional basketball player-just not always an NBA player. My brother lent this to me after he read about it on the Sports Guy page at espn.com. Entertaining. Sarcastic, but at times smarmy. The kind of book you can read in the bathroom."
