Learn the Inspiring Story of the Detroit Pistons' Star Center Andre Drummond! Read on your PC, Mac, smartphone, tablet or Kindle device! In Andre Drummond: The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball's Dominant Centers, you will learn the inspirational story of one of basketball's premier emerging centers, Andre Drummond. Andre Drummond has played a pivotal role in the reemergence of the Detroit Pistons as a threat in the Eastern Conference under the direction of Stan Van Gundy. While still a young center in the league, Andre Drummond has already established himself as a dominant big man in the paint, who often commands the attention of double teams and opposing defenses to prevent him from scoring easy buckets. In this unauthorized biography, you'll learn Drummond's inspirational story into the league. Here is a preview of what is inside this book: Childhood and Early Life High School Career College Career NBA Career: Getting Drafted, Rookie Season Andre Drummond, the Double-Double Machine, All-Star Season Playoff Debut, Continued Growth Andre Drummond's Personal Life Drummond's Impact and Legacy An excerpt from the book: The traditional center has become a lost position in today's era of the NBA. In the past, centers such as Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Moses Malone, David Robinson, and Shaquille O'Neal, among others, have lorded the paint to score inside points, rebound misses, and block shots. Championship teams almost always needed those type of centers to win titles. But in today's game, the center has become a thing of the past. While rebounding the ball and defending the paint are still within their job descriptions, centers have evolved into frontcourt players that specialize in stretching the floor, hitting outside shots, and even defending guards on switches. You would rarely see centers looming inside the paint waiting for passes at the post or drop passes whenever guards drove into the key. The faster pace and reliance on the three-pointer of today's era have rendered the traditional center an endangered species. Nevertheless, a few players in today's game still play like the giants of old. They still take advantage of their size and strength at the post and inside the paint. They still rebound buckets at a dozen or more. And they still loom inside the key to block shots or intimidate smaller opponents. One such player goes by the name of Andre Drummond. At 6'11" and sporting an enormous muscular frame, Andre Drummond is the prototypical traditional center. He has both the height and strength to punish smaller defenders in the paint as well as the athleticism and explosiveness to finish strong at the basket. In line with his physical attributes, he reminds the world of how great of a rebounder Moses Malone was back in the day. Drummond uses his massive frame to get inside position and box opposing players out to get rebounds in bunches. Ever since he became a starter in the league, Andre Drummond never averaged below 13 rebounds a game and has been a double-double machine for as long as he has been in the league.

This holiday season, if you buy the print edition as a gift, you can keep the Kindle edition for yourself! In DeMarcus Cousins: The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball's Top Centers, you'll read about the inspirational story of basketball's star, DeMarcus Cousins. Since entering the league as the 5th overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft, DeMarcus Cousins has made quite the name for himself as a premier big man. After spending nearly seven years as the face of the Sacramento Kings franchise, DeMarcus was given a fresh start mid-way through the 2016-2017 season as he was traded to the New Orleans Pelicans to play alongside fellow star, Anthony Davis. There is still much basketball to be played out in DeMarcus' career. It will be exciting to continue to watch DeMarcus mature over time with Davis. If you're interested in learning the incredible story of how DeMarcus became the player he is today, pick up a copy of this book today Here is a preview of what is inside this book: Early Life and Childhood High School Years College Years at the University of Kentucky DeMarcus' NBA Career Getting Drafted, Rookie Season, Westphal's Ouster, the Double-Double Machine The Rise to Stardom, Cousins the All-Star, Final Year in Sacramento The Move to the Big Easy, Flying High with the Pelicans International Career Cousins' Personal Life Cousins' Impact on Basketball and Beyond DeMarcus Cousins' Legacy and Future An excerpt from the book: Has the world ever seen a complete NBA center? That is one of the most challenging questions to answer in the lore of NBA basketball. The league has seen its share of complete point guards, shooting guards, small forwards, and power forwards that could all shoot, rebound, make plays, and defend at elite levels. And especially in today's NBA era where skill matters most in a pace-and-space style of play. But somehow, complete centers are somewhat rare in the league. It is no secret that dominant and skilled centers have come and gone in the history of the NBA. Wilt Chamberlain and Shaquille O'Neal were both unstoppable athletic giants inside the paint. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Hakeem Olajuwon would leave their defenders scratching their heads because of the array of post moves they brought to the game. Meanwhile, David Robinson's and Dwight Howard's superior mobility have helped them become dominant centers on both ends of the floor. However, as far as all-around skills are concerned, those centers were far from being complete. We have seen centers that are unstoppable near the basket. There are also those that can spin heads with their post moves and superior athletic mobility. Some centers thrive by stretching the floor because of their three-point shooting. Others only care about doing their job at the defensive end by blocking shots and grabbing rebounds. There are even rare centers that could play the point from the post. However, you rarely see centers that could do all of those things at a high level.

Learn the Incredible Story of New York Knick Carmelo Anthony! Read on your PC, Mac, smartphone, tablet or Kindle device. This holiday season, if you buy the print edition as a gift, you can keep the Kindle edition for yourself! Newly revised for the 2017-2018 NBA season, Carmelo Anthony: The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball's Most Versatile Scorers details the inspirational story of basketball's star, Carmelo Anthony. Carmelo Anthony has played in the limelight since being drafted third overall in the 2003 NBA Draft behind LeBron James and Darko Milicic. Melo quickly entered the ranks amongst the most versatile scorers in the NBA due to his ability to score from practically anywhere on the court. While he has yet to capture an elusive NBA Championship, Carmelo Anthony has been a spectacle to watch having played alongside other NBA stars like Allen Iverson, Amar'e Stoudemire, and Tyson Chandler. At the time of this updated edition's writing, Carmelo continues his journey for a championship playing alongside Russell Westbrook and Paul George as a member of the Oklahoma City Thunder. Here is a preview of what is inside this book: Early Life and Childhood High School Years College Years at Syracuse Carmelo's NBA Career Getting Drafted: The Infamous 2003 Draft Class Rookie Season All-Star Status End of the Anthony/Iverson Combo, Enter Anthony/Billups Trade to Knicks Scoring Champion Season Enter Phil Jackson and Derek Fisher, Anchor of the Triangle Enter the Zinger The Final Year in New York The Trade to the Thunder Team USA Carmelo's Personal Life Carmelo Anthony's Impact on Basketball and Beyond Anthony's Legacy An excerpt from the book: There are few sports leagues today as grueling as the NBA. "Nothing will work unless you do." These wise words were uttered by the young and immensely gifted Carmelo Anthony, who has not always been an outstanding player. He had the will, but he had to grow into the skill. He was crazy about basketball as a youngster, but the small forward had to work hard to perfect his game. Today, he is just beginning to fulfill his potential as a genuine leader and is carving out his legacy in the NBA. Since his start as a standout high school player, Anthony has not been a stranger to tenacity and hard work, and he has evolved from a rough stone into a multi-faceted gem. Real basketball fanatics have both positive and negative things to say about Anthony and his impact on basketball. Some view him as a selfish ball-hog who spends too much time showboating. They may even go on to say Melo is too caught up with putting up numbers instead of trying to help his team win. On the other hand, others hail him as a sensational scoring machine, desperate to earn a ring. He may even be the most complete scorer the game has seen in quite a while, and that accolade alone is enough to rack up some wins. When it comes to offensive arsenals, nobody else in the game has more weapons than Melo. He has a deadly jumper that he can hit even with hands right in front of him. With a quick first step, he blows by slower defenders. Anthony could arguably be the best small forward down at the low post. Despite those talents, Carmelo has always lacked the accolades.

Learn the Incredible Story of Cleveland Cavalier Kevin Love! Read on your PC, Mac, smartphone, tablet or Kindle device! In Kevin Love: The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball's Dominant Power Forwards, you'll read about the inspirational story of basketball's star, Kevin Love. Newly acquired from the Cleveland Cavaliers to join forces with LeBron James and Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love was all the trade chatter in the summer of 2014. After finally being acquired in return for Andrew Wiggins, Thaddeus Young, Anthony Bennett, and a $6.3 million trade exception, Kevin Love teamed up in Cleveland to create one of the most hyped trios in the Eastern Conference for this upcoming year. Yet despite this news, Kevin Love left a legacy in his six years in Minnesota. This book largely focuses on that legacy and how Kevin reached where he is today. Here is a preview of what is inside this book: Early Life and Childhood High School Years College Years at UCLA Kevin's Personal Life Kevin Love's Impact on Basketball and Beyond Love's Legacy An excerpt from the book: There are few sports leagues today as grueling as the NBA. In basketball, the effect of a superstar is gigantic compared to other sports. In baseball, an elite hitter will get only about as many chances as his teammates, and his defense only matters if the ball is actually hit towards him. In football, while the impact of a quarterback might be comparable to a star, the fact that football players only play offense or defense limits their capabilities. Time and time again in NBA history, we have seen great superstars lead mediocre supporting casts to high regular season win totals and playoff success. Kobe Bryant won 45 games in 2006 with an incredibly weak Lakers supporting cast. Tim Duncan won a championship in 2003 even though his best playoff teammates were a David Robinson with one foot in the grave as well as various other players who were too young to reach their eventual potential. LeBron James dragged the 2007 Cavaliers to the NBA Finals. Unlike the other leagues, NBA stars have shown that they are fully capable of creating great results almost entirely by themselves. If this is true, then what are we to make of Kevin Love? The newest member of the Cleveland Cavaliers spent the first six years of his career as the star for the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Timberwolves never won more than 40 games during Love's tenure. They routinely struggled during the close games where superstars are supposed to take over. They were never a top 10 defensive team, particularly concerning given that superstar big men can make a big difference on that end. It is true that Kevin Love put up absolutely staggering numbers, but how much impact did he create if the Wolves never made the playoffs? Is Love a superstar who was cursed to play with garbage in Minnesota and will now make Cleveland the most dangerous team in the league? Or is he an overrated player who looked out for his own numbers above the teams, never won anything in the NBA, and will not help the Cavaliers as much as people expect?

Learn the Incredible Story of the Memphis Grizzlies Star Marc Gasol! Read on your PC, Mac, smartphone, tablet or Kindle device! In Marc Gasol: The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball's Most Dominant Centers, you will learn the inspirational story of one of basketball's premier centers, Marc Gasol. Since entering the NBA, Marc Gasol has created a name for himself as one of the best international basketball players to play in the NBA at the center position. As one of the leaders of the Memphis Grizzlies, Marc Gasol has demonstrated a great deal of versatility at both the offensive and defensive ends of the game. It's no surprise why Gasol won the Defensive Player of the Year Award in the 2012-2013 season. In this book, we'll explore how Marc ended up in the NBA, as well as the impact he has left behind on the game. Here is a preview of what is inside this book: Early Life and Childhood High School Career Marc Gasol's Professional Career In Spain Marc Gasol's NBA Career The Anchor of the GRit and Grind Era All-Star Season Defensive Player of the Year Winner Marc Gasol's Personal Life Marc Gasol's Legacy and Future An excerpt from the book: As the sport of basketball has grown over the years, not only in the United States, but in all other parts of the globe as well, the NBA has seen a flurry of European super-stars crossing over from the shores of Europe to play professional basketball in the world's best basketball league. Despite many international basketball players coming over to the NBA since the 90's, it was only in the new millennium when the NBA truly became global. The 90's saw its share of very good European players such as Toni Kukoc, Vlade Divac, Rik Smits, Arvydas Sabonis, and the late, great Drazen Petrovic. Coincidentally, a lot of those international players come from European nations because of how fundamentally sound their players are. The new millennium saw an even bigger explosion of European talent joining several NBA teams. Notable European players that became popular NBA stars in the new decade include Dirk Nowitzki, Tony Parker, Andrei Kirilenko, Peja Stojakovic, and Luis Scola, among others. However, one European basketball star literally stands taller than others. That man is Marc Gasol. If you go back six to eight years ago, you would immediately think of Pau Gasol whenever you hear the "Gasol" family name. After all, Pau was the European superstar who put Spain on the map as arguably the second best basketball country in the world. Pau also had won championships with the Lakers in the late 2000s. He was the Spanish basketball team's best player and could very well be Spain's best in their basketball history. Hence, Pau was essentially a household name among basketball fans and was considered one of the best big men in all of basketball. Over the years, Pau's younger brother Marc slowly and steadily worked his way up to becoming one of today's best NBA players. Standing 7'1" and weighing nearly 270 lbs., Marc was larger than his big brother. When he entered the NBA in 2008, people thought that size was the only thing that Marc had over Pau. Pau was one of the league's best and most fundamentally sound big men while Marc was just a giant who would live in the shadow of his big brother. He was just a second round draft pick while Pau was a top prospect in his draft class.

Learn the Inspiring Story of the San Antonio Spurs' Legendary Center David Robinson! Read on your PC, Mac, smartphone, tablet or Kindle device! In David Robinson: The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball's Greatest Centers, you will learn the inspirational story of one of basketball's premier 90s centers, David Robinson. David Robinson was the face of the San Antonio Spurs franchise before Tim Duncan succeeded him. In that time period, The Admiral was a force to be reckoned with, participating in multiple All-Star appearances, while also leading the Spurs to the 1999 NBA Championship. A former league MVP, it was no surprise that David Robinson was inducted into the Hall of Fame twice, once for his NBA career, and once for his participation in the 1992 Olympics. In this book, we'll learn more about The Admiral's journey into the NBA, his impact on the game, and his everlasting legacy as one of the greatest centers to dominate the 90s era of basketball. Here is a preview of what is inside this book: Childhood, High School Years College Basketball at Navy 1987 NBA Draft Military Service David Robinson's Early NBA Career The Twin Towers Rise David Robinson's Personal Life Robinson's Impact and Legacy An excerpt from the book: When looking at what most basketball players are looking to do when it comes to their future in the sport, the brightest stars are often thinking about trying to elevate their game to be noticed by what many consider as the best programs in college basketball. And with the evolution of technology, it seems easier for someone to have their highlight videos noticed by scouts from programs at Duke University, the University of North Carolina, or Syracuse University. Back in the 1980s, it was significantly harder to get noticed. However, most programs would have never been expected to develop a player who would become one of the greatest in the National Basketball Association. Players like Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, and Magic Johnson were not likely to put programs like the U.S. Naval Academy at the top of their respective wish lists when it came to college basketball recruiting. However, David Robinson is more of a unique case than many would think. For one, basketball was never really a passion for him, and he only played one season in high school before he enlisted in the U.S. Navy, following in his father's footsteps. He also jumped up in height from below six feet as a freshman and all the way up to nearly seven feet when he first walked on the campus in Annapolis, Maryland. Nor did Robinson think he was going to have a future in basketball, despite winning the Wooden Award in 1987 and being a top choice in the 1987 NBA Draft. But Robinson would have to wait two years before making his professional basketball debut because of his obligation to serve two years as an active duty member of the Navy. Many thought it was an unusual situation and wondered if the San Antonio Spurs made the right choice. For the Spurs, the results were well worth the wait.

When they get to the NBA, they are already poised to become some of the best players in the entire league because of how seemingly talented and ready they are for the next level. This is something that is quite a rarity in the league, as only generational talents have this attribute. When you think about such players, names such as Wilt Chamberlain, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, and LeBron James come to mind. Those few generational talents came to the NBA and instantly became megastars. In a league that is never shy of talent, such players are rare, as only those who are born with the gift and the potential to become big-name players get to rise to such heights. Of course, these are the type of players that will excel in whatever situation and team you put them in. But we are not here to talk about such names. Too much has been said about the greatest players the league has ever seen. Instead, we are here to talk about the players who may have been immensely talented but still needed to be in the right place at the right time to truly shine and become the best versions of themselves. These are the guys who may have had the potential to become stars but were not in the best situation at the start of their careers. One such name that we can think of in the NBA right now is the versatile power forward named Julius Randle. Did you enjoy this excerpt? If so, be sure to pick up a copy of this basketball biography book on Julius Randle today! This is just one of many basketball biographies by Clayton Geoffreys.

Learn the Incredible Story of Basketball Superstar Tim Duncan!Read on your PC, Mac, smartphone, tablet or Kindle device!In Tim Duncan: The Inspiring Story of Basketball's Greatest Power Forward, you'll read about the inspirational story of basketball's greatest power forwards Tim Duncan. Tim Duncan has kept the San Antonio Spurs relevant in the NBA for every year of his long NBA career. In this short book, we will learn about how Duncan became the incredible power forward that he is today. Starting first with a look into his childhood and early life, we'll learn about Tim Duncan prior to entering the NBA, along with his time in the NBA playing alongside David Robinson to his time playing with Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili leading the San Antonio Spurs.Tim Duncan is easily one of the greatest, if not the greatest power forward to play the game of basketball. For a man who once was just a kid fulfilling a promise to his parents to earn a college degree at Wake Forest, Tim Duncan has come a long way over the course of his basketball career.It will be exciting to see how Duncan and the Spurs do in this year's 2013-2014 NBA playoffs.Here is a preview of what is inside this book: Early Life and Childhood College Years at Wake Forest Duncan's NBA Career Tim Duncan's Personal Life Tim's Impact on Basketball and Beyond Duncan's Legacy An excerpt from the book:A half-decade ago, the Spurs were the most hated team in the league. In the eyes of the media and fans alike, they were not the brilliant, beautiful team that executed basketball at a level which no other team could do. They were an ugly, defense-first boring team that would never hesitate to use dirty tricks, flop, or work the referees to beat more exciting, fun teams like the "Seven Seconds or Less" Phoenix Suns. Bruce Bowen was a nasty piece of work who would kick an opposing player in the face if he could get away with it, Robert Horry hip-checked Steve Nash into the stands in the playoffs and Manu Ginobili was a cowardly flopper. Duncan may not have received quite the ire of his teammates, but he was boring. A superstar without a doubt, but one who got to play on stacked teams unlike Kevin Garnett and Kobe Bryant who struggled on mediocre teams in the mid-2000s. But do the Spurs care about the fact that those who love them today are also those who castigated them in the past? Not in the slightest. They just keep winning one 50-game season after another, chasing championships and glory. Right in the middle of that, Tim Duncan, oblivious to the roars or boos of the crowd, continues to play, with the same efficiency and genius that he has brought to the NBA over the past 17 years of his career.
