3.0 out of 5 stars I like basketball books, November 22, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Seattle Supersonics (Pro Basketball Today) (Hardcover)

The main characters of my book are the some of the people that were and that are on the Seattle Supersonics. Some of the good people on the Seattle are and were John Kemp, Rashard Lewis, Ray Allen, and Gary Payton. The book shows about the player's life and ratings of the people. I like this book because it's about basketball. They show about how they beat other teams like the Bulls. The theme of the book is that a team will suck unless you have big names on it.

I give my book a 3 because it was a good but it wasn't all that. I wanted to read this book because I saw a basketball on the cover and I also saw Gary Payton. I also spotted the book because I thought we were reading for fun.
That's why I got the book. One part I liked in the book was when Rashard Lewis made a buzzer beater (a shot at the buzzer). I also liked when they were the champions. I did not like when they suspended John Kemp because he is a good, one of the best players. Another part I did not like is when they traded Gary Payton.

Overall, I thought that the book was ok. I recommend it to people who like basketball.
