A Hoopster's Journey -- Carey Scurry, Hardcover

A Hoopster's Journey: The Carey Scurry Story is the basketball legend's true story. The once celebrated L.I.U. and NBA star for the Utah Jazz and NY Knicks whom Brazilian Coach Helio Rubens Garcia called, "One of the three greatest players he'd ever coached," fell upon hard times. The book details his life before and after his professional basketball career.

Scurry knew, as he hung up his jersey and stepped away from the game that beyond the cheers of the crowd, and the roar in the arenas were demons that caused his fall from grace plaguing his soul. In A Hoopster's Journey, Scurry shares some of the highest highs and lowest lows moments of his life.

Facing the challenges of his choices, A Hoopster's Journey is an unflinching and honest story of his triumphs, struggles, and the enduring power of the human spirit. It is heart-wrenching as it is heart-warming to see Scurry's renewed motivation, determination, rehabilitation, and perseverance to beat drug abuse, and societal challenges, and to strive for achievement in the face of adversity. Most of all, it is a gift to those who need it. Be moved. Be inspired. Be transformed.

Carey Scurry, born in the Mecca of Basketball, Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, is a former American professional basketball player who played for Long Island University and in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a forward for three seasons for the Utah Jazz and New York Knicks.
