Download or read book Giannis written by Mirin Fader and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2021-08-10 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Giannis Antetokounmpo’s extraordinary rise from poverty in Athens, Greece, to superstardom in America with the Milwaukee Bucks—becoming one of the most transcendent players in history and an NBA Champion—from award-winning basketball reporter and feature writer at The Ringer Mirin Fader. As the face of the NBA’s new world order, Giannis Antetokounmpo has overcome unfathomable obstacles to become a symbol of hope for people all over the world; the personification of the American Dream. But his backstory remains largely untold. Fader unearths new information about the childhood that shaped “The Greek Freak”—from sleeping side by side with his brothers to selling trinkets on the street with his family to the racism he experienced. Antetokounmpo grew up in an era when Golden Dawn, Greece’s far-right, anti-immigrant party, patrolled his neighborhood, and his status as an illegal immigrant largely prevented him from playing for the country’s top clubs, making his NBA rise all the more improbable. Fader tells a deeply human story of how an unknown, skinny, Black Greek teen, who played in the country’s lowest pro division and was seen as a draft gamble, transformed his body and his game into MVP material. Antetokounmpo’s story has been framed as a feel-good narrative in which everyone has embraced him—watching him grow up, sign a five-year supermax contract extension worth $228 million, and lead the underdog Bucks to the NBA Championship in 2021. Giannis reveals a more nuanced story: how lonely and isolated he felt, adjusting to America and the NBA early in his career; the complexity of grappling with his Black and Greek identities; how he is so hard on himself and his shortcomings—a drive that fuels him every day; and the responsibility he feels to be a nurturing role model for his younger brothers. Fader illustrates a more vulnerable star than most people know, a person who has evolved triumphantly into all of his roles: father, brother, son, teammate, and global icon. **Instant New York Times Bestseller, Los Angeles Times Bestseller, Wall Street Journal Bestseller, USA Today Bestseller, Publishers Weekly Bestseller** **Mirin Fader Selected as the 2021 Sports Media Author of the Year by The Big Lead** **The Sports Librarian’s Best of 2022 – Sports Books**

Book excerpt: The life and legacy of pioneering international basketball superstar Hakeem Olajuwon, a two-time NBA champion whose Hall of Fame career forever changed the game, both in the United States and around the globe--from the New York Times bestselling author of Giannis, Mirin Fader. It's now the norm for NBA and collegiate teams to have international players dotting their rosters. The Olympics are no longer a gimme for Team USA. Both via fans streaming from all over the globe and leagues starting in countries throughout the world, the international presence of the game of basketball is a force to be reckoned with. That all started with Hakeem "the Dream" Olajuwon. "Dream," for short. He was the first international player to win the MVP, which is hard to believe now considering the last time an American-born player won it was four years ago. Award-winning hoops journalist Mirin Fader explores this phenomenal shift through the lens of what Olajuwon accomplished throughout the 1980s and 90s. Dream ignites nostalgia for Phi Slamma Jamma and "the Dream Shake," while also exploring the profound influence of Olajuwon's Muslim faith on his approach to life and basketball, and how his devotion to his faith inspired generations of Muslim people around the world. Olajuwon's ongoing work with NBA Africa, his status as an international ambassador for the game, and his consultations with today's brightest stars, from LeBron James to Giannis Antetokounmpo, brings the story right up to the present moment, and beyond. Synthesizing hundreds of interviews and in-depth research, Fader provides the definitive biography of Olajuwon as well as a crucial understanding of his pivotal impact on the ever-shifting game.

Hakeem Olajuwon broke the record books during his incredible NBA career. In an age filled with greats like Michael Jordan, Karl Malone, Patrick Ewing, Reggie Miller and John Stockton, Hakeem played in one of the most exciting eras of modern basketball. The Houston Rockets won two championships during Hakeem's time with the Rockets. A hall of famer, Hakeem Olajuwon had one of the most infamous signature moves that basketball has ever seen. The 'Dream Shake' was equally as deadly a shot as Tim Duncan's bank shot that we have all grown up watching.Here is a preview of what is inside this book: Early Life and Childhood College Years at University of Houston Hakeem's NBA Career Olajuwon's Personal Life Impact on Basketball and Beyond Hakeem Olajuwon's Legacy An excerpt from the book:Olajuwon came to basketball prominence from relative obscurity in a time when international scouting was not a high priority in either college basketball or the professional ranks. The success of Olajuwon foreshadowed the prominence of international-born players in the future of basketball. For example, the San Antonio Spurs have been the NBA's model franchise over the past decade while featuring stars born outside the 50 states in Tim Duncan (U.S. Virgin Islands), Manu Ginobili (Argentina) and Tony Parker (France). Dallas' Dirk Nowitzki (Germany) and Los Angeles Laker Pau Gasol (Spain) have also made their mark in the league and won NBA championships.
Book Synopsis American Immigration Policy by : Steven G. Koven
Download or read book American Immigration Policy written by Steven G. Koven and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-08-09 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collaboration can be a painful process, especially between authors of different disciplines. This book is an outgrowth of discussions between a Political Scientist and Economists at the School of Urban and Public Affairs, University of Louisville. The Economics perspective is found in Chapter 3 and was largely written by Frank Götzke. The Political Science oriented review, Chapters 2 and 6,aswellasall the case studies were largely provided by Steven Koven. Most of the book, but es- cially Chapters 4, 5, and 7 evolved as a consequence of conversations between the two authors. We believe the product of two disciplinary approaches has produced a collective outcome that is greater than the sum of individual parts would have been. In this book we have attempted to combine the analytical, empirical, historical, political, and economics approaches. Chapter 3 presents an analytical model, based on economics, Chapters 4 and 5 summarize empirical census data related to im- grants, and Chapter 6 reviews the legislative and political history of immigration.
