Kenny Smith's Talk of Champions book

[sdingeldein]

I haven't seen this book discussed here. I'm listening to it now (read by the Jet himself) and have finished the introduction, the chapters on MJ, his HS coach, DES and Bill Russell. Lots of interesting insights and illuminating observations about growing up black in a white world. I didn't know he cracked loose the growth plate in his knee when in HS and had to have surgical repair. The stories about the 4 mentioned are things I had not heard before. Comments on Charles Barkley were interesting. Anyhow, anyone else reading this book? PS, I'd love to see AJ or someone on this site get an interview/podcast with Kenny Smith.
