Available December 2022
I Am Going to the NBA is a revolution in sports biopic authoring. It delivers the most intensely sophisticated revelations about professional basketball, for kids striving to enter that life. Joe peels back the onion in a way no other pro ever has. This retrospective completely leaves clichés at the door. The book refuses to treat you like a child. Dark and unapologetic, this book tells you the real differences between amateurs and pros. If you want to unravel the secret technical intangibles that unlock your basketball potential, then dive headfirst into this absolute basketball mindscape. Basketball dreamers will be challenged to actually make good on their word, because this book provides the blueprint. However, the prescribed workload is nearly impossible to execute, and the truths are just as difficult to accept. But this NBA journey is not for everybody. Maybe it is for you. Good luck.
