Bird offers striking revelations about his health problems and how they shaped the man and his game. He shows how the things he learned as a player formed his thinking as a coach.

It was so much fun, as a coach and a basketball fan to hear the great Larry Bird talk about his experience. It's not a groundbreaking book but it is a personal take on what it was for him to be a player and a coach. A really humble and down to earth guys this Larry Bird is.
