Long Shot: The Triumphs and Struggles of an NBA Freedom Fighter by Rory Fanning, Craig Hodges

4.0

This was a good read from a guy whom few seem to remember. Craig does a good job of laying the foundation of who he is and the values that he showed throughout his nba career and beyond. However, it does fall short after we get to the end of his nba tenure. There is a lot of build up but it really just stops really short when it comes to describing how he felt and really digging into the struggles he faced after he was 'forced' out of the league. I would have liked a bit more thorough of an examination of that aspect of his life and more about how he feels the current generation of nba players show their activism and community engagement. But for a memoir from an unheralded yet important person it was a good read and it went by quickly.
