Michelson, Herb Almost a Famous Person
New York Harcourt Brace Jovanovich (c.1980) 0-15-105069-4 / 9780151050697 First Edition Hardcover Near Fine in Near Fine dj Illustrated by (dj design) Rubin Pfeffer
[nice clean copy, minimal handling wear; jacket mildly rubbed, very short corner creases in front flap]. Tragic life story of Bob Presley, a Detroit ghetto kid whose life went astray when he failed to make the NBA after a successful high school and college basketball career. "Basketball offers young blacks the dream of success: money and fame. Presley never realized these dreams; all he knew was the harsh reality of exploitation by those who control the game-- the coaches, the club owners, the media. [This book] is an indictment of this dream, and of the tremendous emphasis placed on basketball and other professional sports as virtually the only way that a black man can escape the ghetto. No reader of Bob Presley's story will view basketball again in the same way."
