Nice to catch up on the old (and some not so new) days of UK basketball. Told from the players perspective. From the 1992 regional final with Duke to the 31 point comeback against LSU, the past was brought forward again.

Game of My Life
By: Ryan Clark
The Game of My Life is very good. It has great stories about great wildcats players and broadcasters. It highlights each of their favorite games while with Kentucky. It contains stories ranging from the 1940's to the 1990's. I like this book because it contains stories directly from wildcat players and is very detailed about their high school career and life after Kentucky. I would recommend this to all Kentucky basketball fans because it is all based around Kentucky basketball.

Being a lifelong Kentucky Wildcats basketball fans, I enjoyed this book tremendously. Players spanning all eras give their input. They detail their most memorable game; some tournament, some regular season.
Ever wonder how certain players such as Patrick Sparks wound up wearing the blue and white? You'll find it here. This was a thoroughly enjoyable read.

This is a nice collection of remembrances from UK players. Read straight through, the stories are a bit repetitive and the participants are heavily skewed to the last 15 years, but there's plenty for UK fans to enjoy
