Heaven Is a Playground

Segunda vez que lo compro, se lo dejé a un familiar y se extravió.Un livro imprescindible para los amantes del baloncesto y de esos que gusta leer otra vez pasados unos años.

I spent a lot of time in Foster Park from 1973 to 1979. I was not known as a baller, but I had some enjoyable moments. I became friends with many people mentioned and some of them became very good friends of mine. To some degree, heaven is how people thought of Foster Park. It was a place that you could chill, play cards, meet some nice people and enjoy basketball games, especially during June weekends in the late afternoons. This book gave a pretty accurate account of events that happened during this period. This was also a growing period for many people, including myself that life outside of Foster Park could be challenging for many. Many people found things different, some people are no longer with us, but some became better people from their basketball and life experiences at the schools they were able to attend. I left Brooklyn in 1979 and have worked many places in this country as a Welding Inspector. I presently live in Michigan and have 4 grown children. I bought this third edition to remember the people I knew on the cover and give a shout to the good people I met there and hope life is good.

Awesome read, been trying to obtain a copy of the book forever, After purchase could not put it down. A must read for all sports fans.

Classic streets of NY basketball book, Telander is one of the best. Interesting stuff about the inner city, life and b-ball

This book should be on any basketball fans list of reading material. Especially if you grew up in the 70s or early 80s. It will make you remember.
