1. The Blind Side by Michael Oher
I saw the movie so now is probably a good time to campare the book to the movie.  I loved how I could connect to the movie and Im really excited to see how well I could connect with the book. The Blind Side is going to be a great story no matter what kind of genre it is in.
2. Dream Team by Jack Mccallum
I have always loved the original dream team and now i would like to learn even mor about the players and the team.  This book should tell me in depth about how the player got onto the dream team and how they all worked together so great.
3. I beat the Odds by Michael Oher
I really like the story of Michael Oher, a man that had no quit, so I think it would be a good idea to see the bad times the he had with his father and his brothers/sisters and his mother. I am sure Micheal never dreamed that he would become this well known around the world but now everyone wants to know how he became that man that gave people hope.
4. Brian's Song by Gale Sayers/ Al Silverman
I told my dad about this assignment and all he could talk about was this true story about one of the greatest football players for the Bearss in the history of the NFL. The reason I picked this book was because of what my dad had said about it and it really sounded interesting to me.
5. The Legend of Dr. J by Marty Bell
I thought this book would be interesting because Dr. J is one of the best basketball players to ever step foot on a court. He could do just about any trick dunk or shot you could think up or dream up. In fact the only thing Dr. J knew how to do was to get up (jump). I've always wanted to learn about him as a player more, since I didnt get to watch him in his prime.
6. They Call Me Coach by John Wooden
The main reason I chose this book was because the author is John Wooden. This coach was possibly the best NCAA basketball, had ever seen. He coached the UCLA Bruins to a more than 70 game unbeaten streak in a couple of years. This book tells the ups and down of his life and being a college coach.
7. Foul! The Connie Hawkins Story by David Wolf
This book was also another book my dad wanted me to read. I don't really know who Connie Hawkins is, but I hpe to find out while reading this book.
8. Friday Night Lights by H.G. Bassinger
For me this book will probably be the best out of the ten, because I've seen the movie and watched the tv series. I 'm a huge fan of this story. It has all you could want in a book for me. There are ups and downs and mainly everything in this story.
9. When Pride Still Matter by David Maraniss
This book just popped out to me because it has a great title and I would really like to read it and see what it is really about.
10. Loose Balls by Terry Pluto
From the look of the title it maight seem like an unusual book, but the book is infact about some of the greatest basketball players of all time and the obsticles they have had to beat along the way to stardom. Such, players, as; Micheal Jordan and Larry Bird are talked about in this book
