Product Description
Synopsis
On February 7, 2007, NBA legend John Amaechi, the only Briton to achieve basketball superstardom, a man inculcated into the NBA Hall of Fame for scoring the first points of the new millennium, came out as a homosexual athlete ? one of only four in the US ever to announce that their sexuality is anything other than that of straight male and the only pro basketball player ever to do so. MAN IN THE MIDDLE chronicles Amaechi?s extraordinary journey from awkward, overweight child to jet-setting NBA star. Along the way, he encounters endless obstacles to the fulfilment of his hoop dream ? his father?s abandonment; being cut from his first college team; a life-threatening injury; abusive coaches; the death of his mother ? all the while protecting the secret that could end his career.
