 A MUST READ FOR ALL ROCKET FANS February 23, 2008
RUDY TOMJANOVICH DOES A GREAT JOB WITH A ROCKET AT HEART. HE COVERS HIS LIFE AND CAREER AS A PLAYER AND COACH. I FOUND THE HIGHLIGHTS TO BE THE TELLING OF THE INFAMOUS PUNCH WHICH RUDY WAS ON RECEIVING END FROM KERMIT WASHINGTON. THIS CHANGED BOTH OF THEIR LIVES FOR MANY YEARS. JUST TO FEEL WHAT RUDY HAD TO GO THROUGH IS QUITE CHILLING AND SCARY. THE OTHER HIGHLIGHT IS RUDY'S TELLING OF THE BACK TO BACK TITLES HIS ROCKETS WON IN THE MID 1990'S. I LIKE HIS ATTITUDE OF HARD WORK AND BEING POSITIVE. WELL WORTH READING.
 Good book, but began to drag December 22, 1997

I am a die-hard basketball fan and read almost anything that has to do with basketball. I have read NBA biographies before this one, and this one wasn't the best. The book started off great. The description of his playing, his injuries, his coaching, all great. But near the end of the book, it began to drag. I remember a lot of that book, but I do not particularly recall much of the ending. The team trainer story was interesting, but other than that, he seemed to be filling pages. This book was way too long. The Grant Hill book ("Change the Game") was a good book that was short but got to the point. I can recall a decent amount of that book, but it's been awhile since I read it. The Tomjanvich book might be a nice title to pick up, but don't expect too much from it.

Rudy T is one of the great choches in NBA history and here is his book filled with his experience and memories. This is a book for you if you are a Houston Rocket`s fan or if you like biographys. The only bad thing is he spents talkin about his chilhood too much time.

Rudy T has proven that he has the heart of a champion. This book renewed the excitment I felt for the Rockets as Rudy lead his team to back-to-back championships.You can really see how down to earth and honest Rudy is through this book.Thanks Rudy
