Consider Coach Wooden and Me by Kareem AbdulJabbar. Recommended by 5 sources.
“This is a reflective, anecdote-rich memoir by a former NBA star about his decades-long friendship with the coach named in the title. Early chapters feel intimate and instructive, sharing small incidents that illuminate how mentorship shaped decisions on and off the court. What works best is its portrait of long-term mentorship and the moral lessons that traveled beyond wins and losses. The main limitation is a tendency toward repetition and reverence — readers seeking critical distance, tactical game analysis, or brisk narrative momentum may find it slow and indulgent.”
