The Road to the NBA, Vol. I

About the Book

THE ROAD TO THE NBA is a book about heart, drive and internal motivation, when going the standard route is unavailable. It captures and conveys the experiences of one man’s unwavering ability to pursue his dream of playing in the NBA, despite being faced with adversity and disappointment, both on and off the court. THE ROAD TO THE NBA is captivating, informative and heart wrenching. It encourages the reader to “never give up” on their own dreams, whatever they may be. The example of how to get back up and brush yourself off, each and every time you’re knocked down, disappointed, disenfranchised and/or disqualified, is demonstrated on the pages of this must read. THE ROAD TO THE NBA is intended to create, in the lives of each and every person who reads it, the same spirit of hope, strength and motivation found in its pages. It is the Author’s desire that you the reader catch hold of that spirit. Quite frankly this book is absolutely Fabulous! There is no book like it in all of professional basketball. Once you start reading it you will never want to stop. This is as intellectual, emotional, motivational, and triumphant as it get´s in the game of life. The book is amazing! And very thought provoking. The reality kept me glued to the pages. I highly recommend this book. -Charmane Townsell, Sheriff´s Depart. Employee. Educational, Refreshing, and Bones Reality! -Paul Higgins, Award Winning T.V. Producer. I can see what a tough life is, to search a dream or just to survive. I am very glad for you. You are an example of Determination. -Eneko Herreros, Pro Basketball Coach, Spain
