Super impressed with The Count's memory! This dude remembers every single little detail about his life. Loved hearing all of the behind the scenes stories and random details about his life. Best autobiography ever!

Steven Adams overcame extreme odds to become a first-round prospect in the 2013 NBA draft. From there he signed a major contract with the Oklahoma City Thunder - making him New Zealand's highest-paid athlete ever - and went on to forge a reputation for his intense, physical style of basketball. Adams takes you inside the draft process from the fascinating whirlwind tour of pre-draft workouts with dozens of teams to the draft itself where dreams are made or dashed and the Gatorade bottles on every table are glued shut.

Fantastic book

Don't have much to say on this. This book was FANTASTIC. I usually end up disappointed with autobiographies of pro athletes but this was definitely an exception.

In 2012, Derrick Rose was on top of the world. After growing up in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, Rose achieved an improbable childhood dream: being selected first overall in the NBA draft by his hometown Chicago Bulls. The point guard was a phenom, winning the Rookie of the Year award and electrifying fans around the world. In 2011, he became the youngest MVP in league history. Rarely had a bond between a player and fans been so strong, as the city wrapped its arms around the homegrown hero.

D-Rose should've hired an Editor of some sorts
Revisado: 08-30-20
I love D-Rose and respect EVERYTHING he has accomplished and gone through. However this book was not a must read/listen IMO. Very unorganized and way too many repeated details throughout the book.

This best-selling, highly-acclaimed account is a hilarious but scathing baseball tell-all. After being voted the 1977 American League Cy Young Award winner, Sparky Lyle was rewarded for his efforts by being benched. The Yankees, a leader of free agency, signed Goose Gossage as their closer. Things only went downhill from there and the 1978 season turned out to be one of controversy, firings, fights, and acrimony. In short, it was a zoo.

Unique but a great listen
Revisado: 08-30-20
I liked the format of this book which was pretty much in a journal format. Since I was born in '93 I obviously never got to see this team play but I knew about them since my father would always talk about the players in this book and I'd occasionally see whitewashed documentaries about this team. Getting a true insight of this team and the day to day life of a baseball player made it a fun listen for me. The candid approach of this book is what ultimately made this book so great since a journal format gives you insight into one's life a LOT more than an autobiography.

When a group of private equity bigwigs purchased the Philadelphia 76ers in 2011, the team was both bad and boring. Attendance was down. So were ratings. The Sixers had an aging coach, an antiquated front office, and a group of players that could best be described as mediocre. Enter Sam Hinkie - a man with a plan straight out of the PE playbook, one that violated professional sports' Golden Rule: You play to win the game.

Fantastic for a basketball junkie like me
Revisado: 08-30-20
Everything about this book was great from the details of the early struggles of the Hinkie days, the quick detailed summary of each player and the behind the scenes stories! Fantastic book. Great job narrating as well, I love it when the author narrates.

Historia4 out of 5 stars 84
The Supreme Team has gone down in street legend and the lyrical lore of hip-hop and gangsta rap as one of the most vicious crews to ever emerge on the streets of New York. Their mythical and iconic status inspired hip-hop culture and rap superstars like 50 Cent, Jay-Z, Biggie, Nas, and Ja Rule. Born at the same time as crack, hip-hop was heavily influenced by the drug crews that controlled New York's streets. And the cliché of art imitating life and vice versa came full circle in the saga of the Supreme Team's infamous leaders.

Worst narrator ever
Revisado: 05-08-20
Wow, I've never had to stop listening to an audio book because of a bad narrator but this guy pulled it off. Got through the first chapter and I just couldn't listen to more. How does one become a narrator without being able to pronounce basic words?
Some words he couldn't pronounce (from the first chapter alone):
Stuyvesant
Preme (prem-ay or preem-ay)
hyperbole (hyperbowl)
ideology (eed-e-ology)
clique (kuleek)
What a joke! The average middle school student could have done a better job narrating this book.
