Description
New York Times Bestseller The record-holding two-time NBA champion and recently inducted hall-of-famer reflects on his work ethic, his on-the-court friendships and rivalries, the great teams he's played for, and what it takes to have a long and successful career in this thoughtful, in-depth basketball memoir. Playing in the NBA for eighteen years, Ray Allen won championships with the Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat and entered the record books as the original king of the three-point shot. Known as one of the hardest-working and highest-achieving players in NBA history, this most dedicated competitor was legendary for his sharp shooting. From the Outside, complete with a foreword by Spike Lee, is his story in his words: a no-holds-barred look at his life and career, filled with behind-the-scenes stories and surprising revelations about the game he has always cherished. Allen talks openly about his fellow players, coaches, owners, and friends, including LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, and Kevin Garnett. He reveals how, as a kid growing up in a military family, he learned about responsibility and respect-the key to making those perfect free throws and critical three-point shots. From the Outside is the portrait of a gifted athlete and a serious man with a strongly defined philosophy about the game and the right way it should be played-a philosophy that, at times, set him apart from colleagues and coaches, while inspiring so many others, and lead to the most pivotal shot of his career: the unforgettable 3-pointer in the final seconds of Game 6 of the 2013 NBA finals against the San Antonio Spurs, a moment now etched in basketball history. Throughout, Allen makes clear that success in basketball is as much about what happens off the court as on, that devotion and commitment are the true essence of the game-and of life itself. This is more than a basketball memoir-it's a masterclass in dedication.- NBA Champion Mindset: Discover the relentless work ethic and mental fortitude that propelled Allen to two championships with the Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat.- Behind-the-Scenes Stories: Get an unfiltered look at teammates and rivals, with candid reflections on playing alongside legends like LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, and Kevin Garnett.- The Shot of a Lifetime: Go inside the thrilling final seconds of Game 6 of the 2013 NBA Finals and the preparation that made one of the most clutch shots in sports history possible.- From "He Got Game" to the Hall of Fame: Read about his unique journey from starring as Jesus Shuttlesworth in Spike Lee's classic film to his induction into the Hall of Fame.
