Reviews

[Nash Houskeeper · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is about my all-time favorite NBA player Kevin Garnett. This book tells about his life and his many accomplishments. Kevin is one of a select group of players to be drafted straight out of high school! This book goes into Kevin's life and I learned quite a bit more about him that I didnt know.

I would definately recommend this book to any sports fan or fan of Garnett. It is a must read for any NBA fan. Kevin is a great guy and very humble on and off the court. He is a great role model for kids by the way he plays and lives his life. I just really enjoyed learning more about my favorite player.
