His personal life philosophy and wisdom
5 stars
This is a look back at his life, essentially his philosophy and how it formed through segregation, the civil rights era, and his storied basketball coaching terms at Washington State, Univ of Iowa, and Univ of Southern California and two USA Olympic Basketball teams He’s coached men who later became NBA royalty. The book has a forward from Michael Jordan. The cover has a quote from Charles Barkley. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr gave George his “I have a dream” speech as King stepped off the stage. George signed Michael Jordan to his Nike contract in the 1980's, which brought forth the Air Jordan line known worldwide.
The book covers 20 points to being a better person, each with stories from his life and experiences. A heavy tilt towards basketball, I’m not a basketball fan but found the book very enjoyable. It’s his manual for life for his mid 80's …
