Publisher's Summary:
If you fall down, get up and finish.
Dwight Slaughter graduated from Verbum Dei High School, a school with one of the top 10 winning basketball teams of all time. While at Verbum Dei High School Dwight was voted number one player in the country in 1972 by different sports magazines. He then went on to further his education and play basketball at Cal State Los Angeles from 1972 to 1976 - a period that would set a precedent with new laws changing how colleges accept athletes. During his athletic career, Slaughter was interviewed by such greats as Howard Cosell, on his show SportsBeat and in his book I Never Played the Game; Morley Safer from 60 Minutes; and John Chancellor from World Nightly News. He was voted by ESPN and Sports Illustrated as one of the top 100 basketball players in the State of California. As a child, Slaughter relied on basketball to build his self-esteem and relieve the stress of mental and physical abuse. His gripping memoir follows his public career and takes the listener inside his personal life as well-into a childhood of abuse, betrayal...even murder.

My rating of this book
This book was amazing. I am always in awe of people that have gone through things such as these and have STILL flourished. They have scars and have been affected but they don't let others see it, they move forward, they keep going and they still succeed in life. I feel that he has so much to give to the world. I look forward to many more books from him. I see him travelling the world mentoring to young athletes, people in shelters, single dads and definitely people addicted to drugs. People in each of these categories need to see what could happen if you persevere and not give up. Excellent read.
WHAT A BOOK!!!
THIS IS AN REMARKABLE BOOK AND IS VERY EMOTIONAL, THIS BOOK PULLED ME IN FROM THE VERY START.
I HAD A HARD TIME PUTTING IT DOWN, I LOVED IT SO MUCH.
THIS BOOK WILL KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF.
HE WENT THROUGHT A LOT IN LIFE, AND THIS IS ANOTHER REASON WHY "DWIGHT SAULGHTER" WILL BE A LEGEND IN THE YEARS TO COME.
A good look into the life of an underprivileged young man ...
A good look into the life of an underprivileged young man thrust into the lime light just to face the bigotry of the times, and how he dealt with it.
Lacked alot of detail
The story line was great however it lacked a lot of specificity. He skirted the surface of a lot of areas of his life and should have given the reader/buyer more detail.
A true life story I know I am one of his brothers
I am going to get straight to the point. My brother is telling the world in his book the truth about his life experience. I rate this book a 100 if the rating when that high. What I like about this book he letting the world know exactly what happen to him while growing up to become one of the best athlete in really the world. Because if you check the statistic doing his career of the 70's in basketball, it speak for itself, it's in black and white. For those who read this book some will say to themselves," whow, that happen to me" What dislike about this book the publisher did not include photos of his athlete career. I highly recommend for the young generations, teenagers, adults and older to read this book. What you learn is you will see my brother for who was and is now. He has a beautiful heart,Humble, he smart, God Fearing, very athletic just a well as I was and still is.
