Title: Nothing But Platitudes
Review: The book is separated into chapters on various values that Bill Bradley considers important in basketball, such as "Respect" and "Leadership." The values are then illustrated by examples of players exhibiting these values (not infrequently, the player is Bill Bradley himself). Unfortunately, the book is filled with turgid writing and platitudes such as "Some of the very best basketball players, through their athletic accomplishments, legitimize youthful aspirations and encourage committment." I've read several books by Bradley and know he is a good writer who, although sometimes a little dull, is usually insightful. This book is a big disappointment. It might be helpful to children or adolescents who are first starting to play basketball but if you're an adult looking for insight into the game, look elsewhere.
