"Abdul-Jabbar and Wooden shared a priceless friendship, and this sensitive, sharply written account brings it to full, vivid life."--Booklist (starred review)

"I always knew my Daddy felt this way about Kareem, but I never knew Kareem ever felt this way about my Dad."--Nan Wooden, Coach Wooden's Daughter

"This latest masterpiece by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is even better than all the rest... I'm captivated, enthralled, educated, and entertained as The King's words roll off the page even smoother than his skyhook did off his fingertips."--Bill Walton
