Reviews

[Helen Adams]

I’m a little biased because I’ve known John for years and consider him a friend. Playmaker is an authentic journey into a young man’s life that can encourage and empower any age reader. But I do believe this easy-to-read book can significantly impact the younger generation, especially young men. I wish John all the success in the world!

[Nicole · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is more than just about basketball. It's more than simply a memoir of a young man learning the hard facts of life and a tested faith. This is an inspiring and honest testimony that makes you want to reach for the stars yourself. Timeless wisdom and Scriptures. Recommended for all ages, especially middle, high school and college-aged students. A must for basketball families, players and coaches.
