Loose Balls

Easy Money, Hard Fouls, Cheap Laughs and True Love in the NBA.

This is the funniest, smartest, most honest book ever written about life in the NBA. All-Star centre Jayson Williams is one of the best players in the NBA, probably the strongest, certainly among the most generous, and definitely the wittiest. His irreverent take on life on and off the court, his sidesplitting one-liners, his pro-fan stance during the 1998 lockout, and his massive donations of time and money to charity have made Williams one of the most popular pro athletes in the country. He's the basketball superstar as human being - down-to-earth, honest, thoughtful, and a naturally hilarious raconteur.

'Loose Balls' is the basketball book everyone has been waiting for: the first candid report from a land of fragile egos, available women, unexpected tenderness, intramural fistfights, colossal partying, bizarre humour, inconceivable riches, and desperate competition. No inspirational pieties or chest-thumping boasting, just real insider tales of refs, groupies, coaches, entourages,and all the superstars, bench warmers, journeymen, clowns, and other performers in the rarefied circus that is professional basketball.
