Looking into getting back into reading again and been doing a little research on a good basketball book. Not looking for a particular player book (i have pretty much all the mj books) but more looking for a good book about ball on a street tip. Street legends and what not.

The three below are some that i found during my search;

**The City Game: Basketball from the Garden to the Playgrounds**

Curious to hear peoples comments on the books above if they have read them and more so any other books they can recommend to me. 🙂
