In a world before the ultra-hype and glitz and mega-salaries of the modern NBA took over, there dwelled a now nearly unimaginable world where the press traveled with teams they covered. Shaughnessy's first hand experiences not only covering but also interacting with the storied Celtics team of the mid-1980s make for a story that is chock- full of golden moments from his daily coverage of that incredible team and, most significantly, its leader, the once-in-a-lifetime talent and competitor, Larry Bird. ~ Reviewed by Jon Fine

Slam-dunk account of college basketball's brassiest, baddest conference. O'Neil's resurrection of the backroom deals, pressures, and determination to get the league on its feet and land on top is as engaging as her evocation of the volatile coaches and players that brought thrill and heartbreak to the court. ~ Reviewed by Mike Hare

Raw, unfiltered, and rough around the edges, just like the man himself. Jon Moxley was once WWE champion Dean Ambrose, but those days are dead and gone. Moxley has struck out on his own into the dark world of independent professional wrestling, and takes the reader along for the ride, thumbtacks and all. A Hunter S. Thompson-esque carnival of drugs, sex, and rock n roll. A unique entry into the pantheon of wrestling memoirs, told through journal-like, stream of consciousness. ~ Reviewed by Chris Linendoll

World champion utramarathoner Scott Jurek had either hit a wall mentally or was having a mid-life crisis when his wife challenged him to either retire from the sport he dominated or get back in the game with everything he had. He responded in true Jurek fashion by deciding to set the record for the fastest known time running/hiking the 2,190-mile Appalachian Trail. This is far more than a physical challenge. Jurek also pushes himself (and is pushed) mentally, spiritually and emotionally. Scott and his wife Jenny tell of the trials, pain, anguish and ultimately joy they experienced as they worked as a team to complete the trip from Georgia to Maine. Truly inspiring. ~ Reviewed by Allen Boulet
