4.0 out of 5 stars
A charming "hoops" book outside the mainstream,
This review is from: A Journey in Overseas Basketball (Paperback)
Adkins was an excellent high school and DIII college basketball player whose career was as a coach, administrator, and player agent for American players for overseas basketball. Journey in Overseas Basketball is probably not the basketball book you buy for your 10-year old son or daughter who has just fallen in love with the game. But if you are a life-long hoops junkie, and have worked your way through books by Wooden, John Feinstein, and the autobiographies of Russell, Kareem, and Bill Bradley (all of which I have), then you will almost surely enjoy this book. The personal stories of many players you have heard little or nothing about, as well as the more famous names of basketball, the very interesting, nuanced (but seldom arcane) descriptions of how the various international, professional leagues work, woven into the author's very interesting autobiography and personal philosophy give the book a disingenuous charm.
