If you are a young player like me (I'm 19), and still have a lot to learn about basketball, this book is a must have. My own understanding of the game has improved big time reading this book, and I seriously recommend it for all those players who often stop on the court thinking: "What should I have done in that situation" or, "Where did I go wrong". DeVenzio writes about all the "little things" in the game, as he describes it, that your coach might not have the time or knowledge to teach you. And he writes in an easily understandable way which often leave you thinking; "Wow!" and "Aha!". This book separates itself from the vast number of basketball-books on the market. Buy a copy know!
He's a genius!

Dick Devenzio has written a masterpiece. As a high school player reading this book, I couldn't wait till I could get back out onto the court to try all my new tricks. I became a much better player because of this book. Now as a college basketball player I find myself using the same techniques and receiving the same great sense of accomplishment after somebody asks me, "where did you learn that?" So I tell them. This book isn't just about basketball, it's about teaching yourself to become a better person as well. There are many lessons to be learned.
An excellent book for all basketball lovers!
