A Hoopster’s Journey: The Carey Scurry Story is the basketball legend's true story. The book details his life before and after his professional basketball career. The once celebrated LIU and NBA star for the Utah Jazz and NY Knicks whom Brazilian Coach Helio Rubens Garcia called, “One of the three greatest players he’d ever coached,” fell upon hard times. Scurry knew, as he hung up his jersey and stepped away from the game that beyond the cheers of the crowd and the roar of the arenas were the demons plaguing his soul that caused his fall from grace. In A Hoopster’s Journey, he shares some of the highest highs and lowest lows moments of his life. Facing the challenges of his choices, A Hoopster’s Journey is an unflinching and honest story of his triumphs, struggles, and the enduring power of the human spirit. It is heart-wrenching as it is heart-warming to see Scurry’s renewed motivation, determination, rehabilitation, and perseverance to beat drug abuse, and societal challenges, and to strive for achievement in the face of adversity. Most of all, it is a gift to those who need it. Be moved. Be inspired. Be transformed.

Are top scorers really the most valuable players? Are games decided in the final few minutes? Does the team with the best player usually win?Thinking Basketball challenges a number of common beliefs about the game by taking a deep dive into the patterns and history of the NBA. Explore how certain myths arose while using our own cognition as a window into the game's popular narratives. New basketball concepts are introduced, such as power plays, portability and why the best player shouldn't always shoot. Discover how the box score can be misleading, why "closers" are overrated and how the outcome of a game fundamentally alters our memory. Behavioral economics, traffic paradoxes and other metaphors highlight this thought-provoking insight into the NBA and our own thinking. A must-read for any basketball fan -- you'll never view the sport, and maybe the world, the same again.

"During their 1971-72 championship season, the L.A. Lakers won thirty-three games in a row ... a run of uninterrupted dominance that predated by decades the overwhelming firepower of today's Warriors, a revolutionary team whose recent seasons include some record-threatening win streaks of their own. Tying together the two strands [of the] story is Hall of Famer [Jerry] West, the ferociously competitive Laker guard who later became one of the key architects of the Warriors"--Amazon.com.
