"Thrilling. Casual fans and hoops nuts alike will love this illuminating work." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Riveting. Deftly recounted. Kerr's time with the Bulls comes alive in the author's telling. This engaging biography is a must-read for basketball fans." -- Library Journal (starred review) "If Lou Gehrig were here, he might agree Steve Kerr is the luckiest man alive, as Steve often says. Because Steve's is a heck of a story and you could write a book about it.
Oh, right. Scott Howard-Cooper did. And it's well told through Steve's personal triumphs and tragedy and triumph and triumph and triumph, all achieved and experienced with endearing humor and humility. You can't believe how he got there until you know how he did. And then you appreciate Steve even more and Scott for bringing the story to us." -- SAM SMITH, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Jordan Rules "The Kerr story is an amazing one, and Scott Howard-Cooper has given us a fascinating look at a fascinating life. Kerr takes such a mirthful, ironic approach, filled with self deprecation, to so much of the business of competing, yet make no mistake. Underneath all of that is a hard-edged, driven competitor, burnished in many cases by disappointment and sorrow, yet possessed of immense wisdom and insight into the emotional lives of NBA players and coaches.
Scott Howard-Cooper has captured brilliantly the mystery of all that. I must say I'm quite envious." -- ROLAND LAZENBY, author of Michael Jordan: The Life "Steve Kerr has lived an amazing life, with moments of great elation and immense pain. Scott Howard-Cooper has put together an important, well-researched book that reflects all the ups and downs of Kerr's journey through basketball and beyond, with keen insights as to what makes him a successful coach and a deeply admirable human being. You don't have to be a Warriors fan, or even a basketball fan, to enjoy this book." -- SETH DAVIS, basketball reporter and author, CBS Sports and The Athletic "A compelling account that demands a place in any sports collection." -- Booklist "[A] highly entertaining look at one of basketball's most interesting people." -- Plainview Herald "One of the few writers with the combination of juice and talent to make a project like this work.
A comprehensive look at one of the most interesting men in professional sports today. A breezy, fast-moving read that--much like its titular namesake--makes the majority of its shots." -- The Maine Edge.
