Book excerpt: Basketball’s most unlikely—and most sought-after—training guru offers an inside look at his career, his methods, and the all-star players whose games he’s helped transform. Where do the best basketball players in the world turn when they want to improve their game? Whom does a future NBA Hall of Famer thank at his press conference when he’s named Rookie of the Year? Who is it that Sports Illustrated, The Wall Street Journal, and Men’s Journal all call the "Hoops Whisperer" because of his ability to engage, inspire, and challenge the players he trains? The answer to all of these questions is Idan Ravin. Ravin never played or coached in college or the pros, yet a virtual NBA All-Star team relies on him to better their game and reach their full potential. A soft-spoken former lawyer, Ravin has become professional basketball’s hottest trainer. In The Hoops Whisperer, Ravin shares the fascinating story of how he transformed a passion for the game into working with iconic basketball stars such as Chris Paul, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony, Stephen Curry, Blake Griffin, James Harden, Dwight Howard, and many more. He offers a rare unguarded glimpse inside the lives of these great athletes, drawn from his intimate connection with them that is the basis of his success. Showcasing his unorthodox drills and improvisational techniques in action, Ravin reveals how faith, effort, dedication, and passion can make a player into a superstar—and anyone into a success. Combined with his own inspiring journey, Ravin’s insights make The Hoops Whisperer a must-read for anyone who loves the game.

Book Synopsis Carmelo Anthony by : Clayton Geoffreys
Download or read book Carmelo Anthony written by Clayton Geoffreys and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-09-15 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn the Incredible Story of New York Knick Carmelo Anthony! Read on your PC, Mac, smartphone, tablet or Kindle device. This holiday season, if you buy the print edition as a gift, you can keep the Kindle edition for yourself! Newly revised for the 2017-2018 NBA season, Carmelo Anthony: The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball's Most Versatile Scorers details the inspirational story of basketball's star, Carmelo Anthony. Carmelo Anthony has played in the limelight since being drafted third overall in the 2003 NBA Draft behind LeBron James and Darko Milicic. Melo quickly entered the ranks amongst the most versatile scorers in the NBA due to his ability to score from practically anywhere on the court. While he has yet to capture an elusive NBA Championship, Carmelo Anthony has been a spectacle to watch having played alongside other NBA stars like Allen Iverson, Amar'e Stoudemire, and Tyson Chandler. At the time of this updated edition's writing, Carmelo continues his journey for a championship playing alongside Russell Westbrook and Paul George as a member of the Oklahoma City Thunder. Here is a preview of what is inside this book: Early Life and Childhood High School Years College Years at Syracuse Carmelo's NBA Career Getting Drafted: The Infamous 2003 Draft Class Rookie Season All-Star Status End of the Anthony/Iverson Combo, Enter Anthony/Billups Trade to Knicks Scoring Champion Season Enter Phil Jackson and Derek Fisher, Anchor of the Triangle Enter the Zinger The Final Year in New York The Trade to the Thunder Team USA Carmelo's Personal Life Carmelo Anthony's Impact on Basketball and Beyond Anthony's Legacy An excerpt from the book: There are few sports leagues today as grueling as the NBA. "Nothing will work unless you do." These wise words were uttered by the young and immensely gifted Carmelo Anthony, who has not always been an outstanding player. He had the will, but he had to grow into the skill. He was crazy about basketball as a youngster, but the small forward had to work hard to perfect his game. Today, he is just beginning to fulfill his potential as a genuine leader and is carving out his legacy in the NBA. Since his start as a standout high school player, Anthony has not been a stranger to tenacity and hard work, and he has evolved from a rough stone into a multi-faceted gem. Real basketball fanatics have both positive and negative things to say about Anthony and his impact on basketball. Some view him as a selfish ball-hog who spends too much time showboating. They may even go on to say Melo is too caught up with putting up numbers instead of trying to help his team win. On the other hand, others hail him as a sensational scoring machine, desperate to earn a ring. He may even be the most complete scorer the game has seen in quite a while, and that accolade alone is enough to rack up some wins. When it comes to offensive arsenals, nobody else in the game has more weapons than Melo. He has a deadly jumper that he can hit even with hands right in front of him. With a quick first step, he blows by slower defenders. Anthony could arguably be the best small forward down at the low post. Despite those talents, Carmelo has always lacked the accolades.

Download or read book Furious George written by George Karl and published by Harper. This book was released on 2017-01-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most outspoken and combative coach in NBA history—and one of the most successful, amassing more than 1,175 victories, the sixth best winning record ever—reflects on his life, his career, and his battles on and off the basketball court in this no-holds-barred memoir A man of deep passion and intensity, George Karl earned his bad boy reputation while playing at the University of North Carolina, a rap that continued through the five years he spent with the San Antonio Spurs—and long after he stopped playing. Karl’s beery nights, fistfights, and barking followed him into a thirty-five-year coaching career. In a game defined by big stakes and bigger egos, rabid fans and an unforgiving media, Karl was hired and fired a dozen times. After leading a team beset by injuries and with no superstar to its best season of all time—an achievement that earned Karl the title NBA Coach of the Year—he was dumped by the Denver Nuggets in 2013. Less than a year and a half later, Karl was at the helm of the Sacramento Kings, snarling and bellowing on the sidelines before being cut loose in May 2016. Intense, obstinate, and loud, Karl has never backed down from a confrontation, whether with management, officials, or star players, as NBA legends from Allan Iverson to Gary Payton to Carmelo Anthony to Demarcus Cousins can attest. Telling his story, Karl holds nothing back as he speaks out about the game that has defined his life, including the greed, selfishness, and ass-covering he believes are characteristic of the modern NBA player, and the rampant corruption that leads all the way to the office of the NBA commissioner, David Stern. Karl also reveals how he’s learned to deal with the personalities, the pressure, and the setbacks with a resilience he acquired from his three bouts with cancer. Raw, hard-hitting, and brutally honest, Furious George is as thrilling, unpredictable, and entertaining as the game that has defined Karl’s life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The wildly inventive debut collection of stories by the Oscar-nominated star of The Social Network. “Hilarious . . . It’s a hoot” (People, The Best New Books). Jesse Eisenberg, known for his iconic film roles, his regular pieces in the New Yorker and two critically acclaimed plays, proves himself “a deeply original comic voice” in these 28 stories” about the funniness, sadness, and strangeness of everyday life and they really made me laugh” (Roz Chast). Moving from contemporary LA to the dorm rooms of an American college to ancient Pompeii, Eisenberg throws the reader into a universe of social misfits, reimagined scenes from history, and ridiculous overreactions; a college freshman forced to live with a roommate is stunned when one of her ramen packets goes missing (“She didn’t have ‘one’ of my ramens. She had a chicken ramen.”); Alexander Graham Bell has teething problems with his invention (“I’ve been calling Mabel all day, she doesn’t pick up! Yes, of course I dialed the right number—2!”); and in the title story, a precocious and privileged nine-year-old boy finds himself in the uncomfortable position as an amateur restaurant critic. Featuring illustrations by award-winning cartoonist Jean Jillian, this “alphabet soup of sketches, riffs, and innovations” (Seattle Times) explores the various insanities of the modern world, “playfully bringing both familiar and wholly original scenarios to life” (Marie Claire).

Book Synopsis Legends of Syracuse Basketball by : Mike Waters
Download or read book Legends of Syracuse Basketball written by Mike Waters and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-08-01 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A list of legends is significant not only for who makes the list, but who gets left off of it. If there are no obvious omissions, then the list of candidates was probably less than legendary in the first place. Not so in the case of the Syracuse University Orangemen. Calling roll on Syracuse’s all-time basketball greats can take up the greater part of a day. The school produced its first All-American, Lewis Castle, in 1912. More recently, Carmelo Anthony, one of the best freshmen to ever play college basketball, led the 2003 Orangemen to the school’s first NCAA championship. In between there were legends such as the incomparable Dave Bing, Roosevelt Bouie, and Louis Orr, who together formed the Louie and Bouie Show, along with names like Derrick Coleman, Sherman Douglas, Lawrence Moten, and John Wallace. Legends of Syracuse Basketball, now newly revised, features twenty-four players, one coach, and one special team. Of the players mentioned, seventeen played in the NBA. Within the book’s pages are stories straight from the legends’ teammates, their coaches, and the legends themselves.

Setting records and winning Olympic medals, Carmelo Anthony is a force to be reckoned with.

Thomas conducted 50 interviews, which included Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Russell, Laila Ali, Michael Bennett, and Eric Reid, among many other athletes, as well as journalists, television personalities, and family members of unarmed black men who were shot and killed.

Download or read book Glory Days written by L. Jon Wertheim and published by Mariner Books. This book was released on 2021 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rollicking guided tour of one extraordinary summer, when some of the most pivotal and freakishly coincidental stories all collided and changed the way we think about modern sports The summer of 1984 was a watershed moment in the birth of modern sports when the nation watched Michael Jordan grow from college basketball player to professional athlete and star. That summer also saw ESPN's rise to media dominance as the country's premier sports network and the first modern, commercialized, profitable Olympics. Magic Johnson and Larry Bird's rivalry raged, Martina Navratilova and John McEnroe reigned in tennis, and Hulk Hogan and Vince McMahon made pro wrestling a business, while Donald Trump pierced the national consciousness as a pro football team owner. It was an awakening in the sports world, a moment when sports began to morph into the market-savvy, sensationalized, moneyed, controversial, and wildly popular arena we know today. In the tradition of Bill Bryson's One Summer: America, 1927, L. Jon Wertheim captures these 90 seminal days against the backdrop of the nostalgia-soaked 1980s, to show that this was the year we collectively traded in our ratty Converses for a pair of sleek, heavily branded, ingeniously marketed Nikes. This was the year that sports went big-time.
