The author, a native of Philadelphia and an alumnus, as was Wilt Chamberlain, of Overbrook High School, spent four years researching and interviewing the most important people in Wilt's life. The result is a capturing of Wilt's personality and thoughts that relatively few people other than family and closest friends ever knew.

Great research, fair writing, horrible narration

If you're looking for lots of facts about Wilt the NBA legend you'll find plenty of information. You'll find material from his growing up in Philly and going to Overbrook H.S. till the end of Wilt's life.
Mr. Cherry has no other writing credits from what I've been able to find, and his main qualification seems to be that he attended the same high school, albeit at a differnt time. His writing is like a research project or the entries of a young news reporter. Not a great literary gem.
But DeMario Clarke, the narrator, makes Mr. Cherry's abilities look advanced in comparison to the reading of this book. It's clear that neither Triumph Books, original publisher, nor Audible books exercised much quality control in the recording. Clarke mispronounces a several names throughout the book. Most noteably and repeatedly was Philadelphia coach Alex Hannum. (it is NOT pronounced "HAY-num"! Good grief. Mr. Clarke voice has a resonance that could make for a great result but needs some guidance in rhythm and flow.
