Description
Life on the Run by Bill Bradley offers an intimate, behind-the-scenes account of twenty days during a professional basketball season with the New York Knicks. Drawing on his experience as an NBA player, Bradley takes readers beyond the games and into the locker room, hotel rooms and travelling life of a professional athlete.
With candour and insight, Bradley explores the discipline, teamwork and intense pressure behind professional basketball, while also revealing the less glamorous realities of life in the spotlight — media scrutiny, fan adoration, loneliness, exhaustion and the commercial demands placed on famous athletes. Featuring fellow Knicks players including Willis Reed and Earl Monroe, the book provides a compelling portrait of professional basketball during the 1960s and 1970s.
This book would appeal to basketball fans, sports enthusiasts and readers interested in the realities of professional sport and the lives of elite athletes.
