How to Make It in the NBA: A More Realistic Approach

"From the playgrounds of America, to the shores of Europe and beyond, the dream to play basketball is alive and well."

For many young players, the dreams of fame and fortune associated with the life of an NBA player can be all consuming.

He makes public the truth that professional basketball is more that just a game - it's big business with a wide range of positions available on and off the court.

This book presents career alternatives to those 99.99% who love the game that for whatever reason, may not make it to the courts. A career in the NBA doesn't always mean a career playing basketball on the courts. As many athletes have proven, it can also be a platform for ministry.
