The connection I made with this book is that I play basketball and so does he. I rate this book a 5 star because I like basketball and this book is about basketball. This book gives you a lot of facts about his childhood and the things he did. When he got into high school he was kicked off his team. When he got into college he played at D1 level. He went and got drafted into the NBA. He played for the Chicago Bulls. He broke a lot of records and won Champion ships and other things. That's why he is one of the greatest basketball players of all time.
I give this book a 5 star because if you really like basketball this is probably the book for you. It is a very exciting book it makes you not want to put the book down. It gives you a lot of facts about his childhood and the things he is doing right now and why he is one of the best basketball players right now. I made a lot of connections in this book one of them is when he had pain in his knees and he was wondering why he was having pain in his knees when he went to the doctor they said it was just growing pains, I get pain in my knees too and it is because I am growing. another connection I made is when he dreams of making a D1 school and playing on the varsity team and then going to the NBA to be a superstar. I have the same dreams I dream of going to a D1 school and then making an NBA team.
