Shirley is a self-described as selfish and pessimistic. Unfortunately, his selfishness and pessimism are too overt. I've bene reading his columns for years, and many of these stories take provide new insight. However, in a book which supposedly takes its material from Journal entries, there's a lack of anxiety throughout. The happy ending of the book permeates, which makes his pessimism all the more shallow.
Simply the funniest, most insightful sports books written in years. Taken from his previous blogs and personal journals, Shirley has put together a travelogue that follows a professional basketball player from Kansas to Russia, all the while with great humor and amazing insight. Most read for anyone interested in professional basketball or memiors.
