Description

---

This is more than a basketball player’s biography. It is constructed with the same substance of the great classic novels. Pistol tells the story of the boy transformed by the dream of his father and the price that his family ends up paying for this dream. In this poignant history, Mark Kriegel captures the passionate saga of an American family: ascension, ruins, and redemption.
