Description

A memoir by the NBA Hall of Fame player, active from 1977-1993 and widely regarded as some of the all-time great New York Knicks.

NBA Hall of Famer Bernard King is among the most dynamic scorers in basketball history. King was once notoriously private as a player, and rarely spoke to the press-not about his career and never about his personal life. And even beyond his prolific scoring, King will eternally be remembered for the gruesome knee injury he suffered in 1985. Doctors who told him he’d never play again were shocked when he not only became the first player to return to the NBA from a torn ACL, but returned at an All Star level. In Game Face, King in spite of everything opens up about his life on and off the court. In his book, King’s basketball I.Q. is on full display as he breaks down defenses the use of his own unique system for taking shots from predetermined spots on the floor. King talks about matching up against one of the vital all-time NBA greats, from Michael Jordan, Julius Erving and Charles Barkley to Larry Bird, Patrick Ewing and many others. He also tackles issues of race and family off the court, in addition to breaking a personal cycle of negativity and self-destructiveness with the help of his family. Engaging, shocking, revelatory, yet all the time positive and upbeat, Bernard King’s memoir appeals to more than one generations of basketball fans.
