I got this book from Netgalley so I can read and review it before it’s published. I really thought I would enjoy this book, but I struggled through it. It wasn’t a chronological timeline of his life, rather advice from his life with his career scattered throughout it.
One of the coolest things about him that I probably knew but didn’t know was after Dr. Martin Luther King gave is famous “I Have a Dream” speech, George was there as security and he asked him for the copy afterwards, and King said of course. Raveling was offered money to sell it, but he donated it to Villanova University and occasionally, the school will loan to museums.
I did enjoy reading his basketball stories with Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West, Bill Walton, John Wooden, and Bobby Knight – just to name a few.
