This book is just like Jayson Williams. Easily accessible and full of quips and stories. In the book, Williams tells many humorous tales of NBA hi-jinks. However, he contrasts these by telling stories of the racism and prejudice he encountered as a young child in South Carolina. The book thus achieves a good balance between humor and poignancy. I would recommend this to everyone, not just sports fans. (
