Can I Keep My Jersey?

Paul Shirley is the closest thing pro basketball's got to Odysseus. He has logged time practically everywhere in the roundball universe, from six NBA cities to pro leagues in Spain and Greece to North America's pro-ball Siberia, the minor leagues. He's even played in the real Siberia. Here, Shirley finally puts down roots long enough to deliver a locker-room chronicle of the modern age, a rollicking, thought-provoking insider's look at a pro baller's life on the fringe.--From publisher description.
