A "Hoops Dreams" type book, it follows Coney Island high school ballplayers, including a cameo of a young, punk Stephon Marbury.<BR/>The City Game, by Pete Axthelm. New York playground hoops in the 1970s.<BR/>Fall River Dreams, forgot the author. Story of the Durfee hoops team with Chris Herron. Lots of drinking, lots of great high school basketball.<BR/>Second Wind, Bill Russell's auto-biography. When you read this there is no way he won't become your favorite athlete ever.rmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165382131985833465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2012744790403954043.post-12530048911233470012008-05-01T12:53:00.000-07:002008-05-01T12:53:00.000-07:00DFW's article on Federer in Play magazine a year a...DFW's article on Federer in Play magazine a year and a half ago was sublime. <BR/><BR/>What about "Legend" by TBJ where he basically admits that he is an a-hole (but doesn't admit that he fathered a daughter out of wedlock, wait, sue bird?)<BR/><BR/>If Larry Bird is The Basketball Jesus does that make Larry Johnson The Basketball Allah?
