Got to Give the People What They Want: True Stories and Flagrant Opinions from Center Court

As a former member of the Michigan Wolverine’s fab five and a player in some of the Indiana Pacers’ best seasons, Rose is well-qualified to expose the inner workings of college basketball. His sharp tongue, quick wit, and irreverent sense of humor leave no subject untouched, from the ways players blow off steam on the road (champagning and campaigning) and how to perfect on-court trash talk, to what draft day is like and how race plays out in the locker room. Got to Give the People What They Want will also discuss trends and transitions within the game, including the rise and fall of the point guard and the role endorsement companies play in college recruiting. Rose’s engaging personal story is woven throughout the book and illuminates his opinions on the larger world of celebrity, sports, and culture.
