A great story about a great young man who's life ended way too soon. It was interesting to read about the life of Chris Street and all the lives he influenced and touched as well as those who played a part in his story. A lot of names and people quoted and mentioned throughout the entire book. If you love basketball this is a good read for you. I read it mainly to learn about this talented young man.

An emotional read. Chris Street was an Iowa icon. His tragic death rocked the state and 25 years later it still hurts for any Iowa Hawkeye fan. This book covers his years growing up in Indianola, his decision to be a Hawkeye, his basketball career, and the accident that ended it all. What I appreciated most was the look into who he was as a person off the court. His character is what sets him apart and why his spirit lives on so vividly.

I'm one of the thousands of Iowans who remember exactly where I was when I found out about the death of Chris Street. Excellent book. It seems like Chris was one of those rare people who you can meet & go away from it thinking you are best friends! He was truly a rare young man & an extremely talented player.

This book tells about the life of Iowa basketball legend, Chris Street who was tragically killed when his car got hit by a snow plow. The entire state of Iowa was in mourning. If you are a basketball fan or are from Iowa you will enjoy this book. #40 forever. He still holds the record for the most free throws in a row by an Iowa player (34). Years later Jordan Bohannon purposely missed so that Chris Street could still hold the record. I also highly recommend this book to boys who play basketball. My boys both read it when they were about freshmen in high school.

A good reflection on the life and legacy of a Hawkeye legend, of his impact to those around him on and off the court. It does get very repetitive by the final 1/3 of the book.
