One for the benchwarmers - By: A. Macdonald, 22 Mar 2008 
I bought this book within days of it coming out, read it within days of it getting here, & it's presently making the rounds across my team...everyone seems to have a slightly different reaction to it:
People who sit towards the end of the bench (or have any experience playingin America) generally find it hilarious & on-point; starters & (local-league) superstars & coaches-maybe not so much.
Whilst I love this book because of the self-defacation from the author, the constant sarcastic tone & the random stories that Mr. Shirley tells-you've got to understand that he was an outsider looking in, his involvement with the teamin question was next to nothing...so if you're buying this book for NBA insight, you won't get as much as you'd hoped (other than the peculiar habits of superstars...but hey, just look at any pro sports team/press & you'll see it on a daily basis).
Paul Shirley is undoubtedly funny, & an excellent writer, & I couldn't put the book down, & for that alone I give this book 5 stars, but please don't buy the book expecting a mammoth insight into an NBA club-you'll be disappointed.
Read It!!!!!!!! - By: A. Hastings, 17 Jul 2007 A humerous, honest insight into the life of a pro-player who did not atomatically get drafted into the NBA but has struggledin his career since leaving college. Definetly a recommended read - very entertaining & intelligent throughout.
