Still Got Game is the extraordinary debut release from former professional basketball player, Carlton Moto Greene. This is the true story of a rising stars exceptional skills and self-sabotage. The NBA legend-in-the-making, recruited by the New York Knicks and the Atlanta Hawks, paid a high emotional cost after witnessing a doublemurder at age 17. What unfolds is both heartbreaking and inspiring. Self-admitted stubbornness, silence and unchecked fear plunged this gifted athlete into homelessness for nearly five years, sleeping on the trains and living on the streets of New York City. Greene courageously lays his life bare as an example of how anyone can find themselves living beneath their potential. But, there is redemption and new possibilities as Greene pivots and transforms his many blocked shots into a winning season.

She's Got Game is the perfect resource for women who have it all together but just don't understand the rules—when it comes to professional and college sports, that is. Does baseball boggle your mind? Is football completely confusing? You're the kind of woman who can adapt to every situation. You know just what to wear and what to say. Nothing flusters you--except going to a game. Sporting events raise so many questions. What is March Madness all about? What on earth is a pop fly? If they just had the fourth down, then why is it the first down now and not the fifth? What's a down anyway? What do I wear? Will I wipe out if I wear heels? Should I wear makeup? And how do you say that player's name? Don't you wish you had a smart girlfriend who could explain it all without making you feel like an idiot? One who could tell you what's going on, what to wear to the game, and even when it's a good time to go to the ladies' room or get another beer? Now you do. Melissa Malamut brings a lifelong love of sports, a girly-girl's sensibility, and insight from fashion editors, friends and her own experiences to She's Got Game. The ultimate guide to enjoying yourself (and looking smart) at any sporting event, She's Got Game, is packed with all the rules and history of the games, personal anecdotes, and do's and don'ts. In this incredibly well-researched and engaging book, Melissa gives you everything you need to feel at ease and fall in love with sports.
