Summary: Slo Mo = Fast Read
Comment: If there were ever a "Forrest Gump" of the sports world, it's Slo Mo. I overheard Rick Reilly talk about this book on the Jim Rome show and purchased it a month later. A lot of the stories are based upon true NBA stories that Reilly had heard, and he didn't need a shoe horn and mounds of super glue to fit them into the short NBA career of Maurice Finkerstein, better known to the world as "Slo Mo."
Forget the fact that the real characters involved have never been affiliated with the team (Charles Barkley, Bryant Reeves and Phil Jackson aren't associated with Houston, Vancouver or Chicago/LA like they were in real life), it's a great read from start to finish. The first 2/3rd of the book based on funny stories... and the last 1/3rd you don't want to put the book down.

Summary: A Funny and Satirical "Tall" Tale of the NBA
Comment: At 7'8", rookie Maurice (Slo Mo) Finsternick is taller than Chuck Nevitt, Shawn Bradley, and Manute Bol! He has a deadly sky-hook that he can shoot left-handed or right-handed from the 3 point line! This innocent teenager grew up among a cult of cave dwellers and he has never eaten a McDonalds hamburger. Do he and his New Jersey teammates, Charles Barkley, and Bryant "Big Country" Reeves have a chance to make the playoffs? Team owner, Donald Trump and head coach Phil Jackson are counting on it!
Sound like a tall tale? It is, and Rick Reilly pulls it off with style mixing whacky fictional characters together with whacky real-life cahracters! Will former cave-dweller Slo Mo lead the Nets to the brink of an NBA Championship? Read the book and find out for yourself!
A funny book with a great ending!
