Sixth Man A Season Inside the NBA Playground

Much as Cameron Crowe revealed the gritty truth of rock & amp; roll stardom in Almost Famous, Chris Palmer steps inside the mythic world of the NBA, documenting the privileged lifestyles of five twenty-something millionaires to reveal the soul of the modern athlete. In this chronicle of the 2004-2005 NBA season, Palmer shadows starry-eyed rookie Luol Deng of the Chicago Bulls, charismatic utility man Damon Jones of the Miami Heat, straight-laced veteran Elton Brand of the Los Angeles Clippers, flashy champion Rip Hamilton of the Detroit Pistons and uncrowned superstar Tracy McGrady ofthe Houston Rockets. Palmer?'s fab five open up their closely-guarded inner circles, showing off their homes, their cars, their jewelry and their toys, all the while sharing their hopes, their fears, their loves, their triumphs and their failures. The book includes cameo appearances from Shaquille O?Neal, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James.Palmer, Chris is the author of 'Sixth Man A Season Inside the NBA Playground', published 2006 under ISBN 9781933060088 and ISBN 1933060085.
