Summary: Poor Role Models
Comment: It is a shame the author chose to glorify several instances of violence and rude behavior in this book. He writes fawningly about how Kareem Abdul-Jabar, "slugged a player - and knocked the man unconscious." The book describes how Larry Bird smashed chairs against the wall and "screamed insults" at halftime in order to get his teammates "fired up". It also admiringly describes how he, "...trash-talked, even to older stars".

If you want a book that teaches your child to admire these sorts of behaviors (and others described in the same manner), this is the book for you. I think most parents, however, will find this book as inappropriate and shocking as I did. It's too bad the author couldn't have stuck to writing about basketball. Random House should be ashamed of themselves to market this as an educational book (STEP into Reading).
