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.

I gave this book to my son who is a big fan of "Bird". He has really enjoyed reading it and he doesn't read often!

A good book for learning basketball basics as well as a few other things useful on and off the court.

[That'll get some 'haters' attention!] Bird,
not 'Be Like Mike Jordan' is the best ever.
So he didn't have Jordan's athletism? This
book will explain why Bird was 'the man'
for 13 years. After which he helped lead his
US Olympic team to the Gold on the first
(so-called) 'Dream Team.' Without him they
wouldn't have won it! This book breaks down
every faucet of winning basketball like L.B.
and Red's videos do as well. Jordan was about
as great but I'll take Birdman by three inches,
which is how much taller he was over Jordan.
Joradn had the advantage of a better bench and
Tex Winter's triangle, which is why he was in
six NBA Champiosnhips as compared to Bird's 5.
