For many young players, the dreams of fame and fortune associated with the life of an NBA player can be all consuming. In "How to Make it to the NBA; a more realistic Approach," Brian Banks delivers what his title promises an indepth, howtolook at the realities and rigors of pursuing a career in professional basketball. He makes public the truth that professional basketball is more that just a game it's big business with a wide range of positions available on and off the court. This book presents career alternatives to those 99.99% who love the game that for whatever reason, may not make it to the courts.

Reader Reviews
I just finished reading this book by Mr. Banks and have to admit that it realistically shows and tells about the jobs around the NBA. Besides, he starts his book from school on, which should be especially motivating for those children that would like to have a career in and around the NBA. It's definaltely suitable for any age. Well done!
