About this title

Synopsis:

The legendary basketball star offers a thought-provoking account of his life in basketball on and off the court, his remarkable accomplishments in college and in professional sports, the inherent racism in sports that cost him his career, and his tenure as president of the NBA Players Union during which he fought for the right to free agency. 100,000 first printing.

Review:

"Known as an intelligent player and respected by his peers as an intelligent man, Robertson puts an exclamation point on the accolades with this thoughtful reflection on a life lived without compromise. A well-written, entertaining, and thought-provoking sports autobiography--but would we ever expect less than a triple-double from the Big O?"--Wes Lukowsky, Booklist--Wes Lukowsky "Booklist "

"Oscar Robertson is remarkably honest in his autobiography, The Big O: My Life, My Times, My Game. . . . It's a fun read."--Zach Lowe, SI.com--Zach Lowe"SI.com" (09/08/2011)
