"best book about growing up as a gifted athlete who has skills and ambitions loftier than those of most top athletes. mcphee's description of game sequences is unrivalled, and he captures his character's most emblematic features in mundane moments. one unforgettable scene. bradley is practicing jump shots in the gym as mcphee observes. he's missing shot after shot. he tells mcphee that the height of the basket is a half-inch off of regulation. bradley adjusts, and sinks shot after shot. later, mcphee returns to the gym with a tape measure. sure enough, the basket is off by about a half-inch."
"an in-depth story of a great, great basketball player. really shows how much of a boy scout bill bradley really was: a hard working ivy leaguer, a rhodes scholar, a future senator, and one of the sickest ballers ever."
