Game On! tells the heady story of women’s basketball in Seattle — and beyond — through the careers of three of its players who embody the sport’s past, present, and future. Written by the only reporter to follow the team since its inception, the book explores Lin Dunn’s daunting role as the Seattle Storm’s first coach; Lauren Jackson’s hard-won superstardom; and Betty Lennox’s amazing career made possible by the struggles of her predecessors. Set against a backdrop of male chauvinism, racism, and homophobia, Game On! is an inside look at this much-misunderstood sport.

This review is from: Game On!: How Women's Basketball Took Seattle by Storm (Paperback)
This book gave me some insight into some of the players, coaches and history of women's basketball. I must admit, even as a fan I had made some assumptions and stereotypes that I found to be inaccurate after reading this book. Not only did it tell the story of the Seattle Storm's development, it brought out the human element of some of the players and coaches. There are even some tear-jerking elements to the story. A good story!

This review is from: Game On!: How Women's Basketball Took Seattle by Storm (Paperback)
I bought this book after hearing fellow Storm fans rave about it, and it's true, this is a GREAT book. It goes over the issues of women in sports, homophobia etc. Plus, there's great info on the Storm and it's history.
