title: Game Face: A Lifetime of Hard-Earned Lessons On and Off the Basketball Court
author: Bernard King
description: "<i>Game Face </i>is impossible to put down. Reading about Bernard's trials and tribulations takes you beyond the player to the man--and the redemptive resolve that makes him who he is today." <br /><b><i>Former New York Knick and Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer, Earl "The Pearl" Monroe<br /><br /></i></b><br /><br />"With his offensive skills and patented scowl, Bernard was one of the NBA's fiercest competitors. After reading his book, I know how he got that way. Talk about a slam dunk, <i>Game Face</i> is flat-out fantastic!"<b><i>Charles Barkley, Two-Time Inductee, Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame</i></b><br /><br />"Bernard and I have been close for over forty years, our friendship running from Tennessee to New York and wherever else our paths took us. Seeing him come into the locker room with his game face on always got us ready to play. This book provides a clear, dramatic window into what Bernard went through, as a basketball player and person, to reach a level of greatness that few achieve."<b><i>Ernie Grunfeld, President, Basketball Operations, Washington Wizards</i></b><br /><br />"Bernard King is a hero and a great role model for me. He changed our game in a legendary way, proving beyond doubt that you can come back from adversity and still have intentional greatness Bernard's focus is something that everyone from business to sports should apply to their lives. <i>Game Face</i> reveals where it came from. It's an enlightening, inspirational story readers will long remember."<b><i>Nancy Lieberman, Naismith Memorial Basketball, Hall of Fame, Class of 1996</i></b><br /><br />"A tender, gripping portrait."<b>Publishers Weekly</b><br /><br />"As half of the Ernie and Bernie Show, Bernard King ushered in the golden era of Tennessee Vols basketball. <i>Game Face</i> matches the style with which Bernard played, charging courageously ahead through his journey into the Hall of Fame. I couldn't stop reading."<b><i>Rick Barnes, Head Coach, University of Tennessee Basketball Vols<br /></i></b>
