Changed Game

This book is mainly about the life of Grant Hill and his basketball career. Grant Hill's Basketball career started in jr. high and went through high school. Grant Hill got his NBA scholarship in high school, and he now plays for the Pistons. He is not like any other basketball player. When Grant Hill does something good he doesn't rub it in the opponent's face, he just keeps playing. I think that Grant Hill is a very inspiring athlete to younger kids. I think that Grant Hill would be a cool, and fun person to hangout with because he says in the book that he has a good personality and that he doesn't just thinks about himself or his money. He thinks about his family and his fans. Grant Hill has a very simple life outside of his basketball career. Besides all of his fans wanting autographs! When Grant Hill goes out to eat somewhere he can't eat in peace he always hast to sign autographs for someone. But other than that Grant Hill lives a simple life. Grant Hill is a very inspiring athlete to younger kids, and me!

Change the Game book review

Overall I thought the book Change the Game was pretty good. One of the things I liked most about the book was that Grant never talked about all the money he made. I also liked how Grant expressed his feelings about problems kids face today. However, one thing I didn't like about the book was it was sort of short. Grant also moved from one topic to the next very quickly. Other than those things the book was good.

The Best Basketball Biography I've Read

Grant Hill's book was very enjoyable, and it was very to-the-point. This was the best basketball biography I've read yet. The only problem was that it was over too soon. I finished this book way too quickly.
