This review is from: Bird On Basketball: How-to Strategies From The Great Celtics Champion (Paperback)

Every basketball player and coach should have this book! My sons AAU basketball coach recommended it and said that they base their skills and drills after the workouts in this book and he has been following it since he 1st got the book when it came out. I think they should re-publish it so it's easier to get. Well worth getting a used copy it and it came really fast from Amazon.
