Reviews
The book is more than just about Allred's time in the NBA and in the D-League. It's also about his time at the University of Utah and growing [in] a polygamist colony..., "Longshot is more than a remarkable sports story.It's a reminder of how much can be accomplished when you never give up on a dream." (Rudy Ruettiger, subject of the original major motion picture "Rudy"), Beyond writing about his life in the game of basketball, Allred honestly portrays his life story in such a way that readers may feel they are sharing his journey., If interesting life experiences are the mark of a good autobiography, then Lance Allred has a good head start., Longshot is more than a remarkable sports story. It's a reminder of how much can be accomplished when you never give up on a dream., A harrowing and moving look at Allred's life growing ... In 250 riveting pages, Allred honestly, breezily and often hilariously recounts his life . . . His personal and familial history alone is worth the read . . ., In a devastatingly honest and poignant book of family, basketball and life, Lance Allred, the best writing big man ever, mesmerizes with a memoir born of the cruelty and inspiration of a game that could never hold him down., If there's a prototypical path to a hoops career, Lance Allred didn't take it. He's not an NBA giant, but Allred's memoir is inspiring., Much more than a feel-good, you-can-do-it-if-you-try chronicle. It is a gutwrenchingly honest account of a man whose story would be mesmerizing no matter what career path he chose., In the land of recycled and formulaic sports bios, this book by a deaf, fundamentalist Mormon kid is definitely worth a read., He hasn't just authored one of basketball's most remarkable young lives, but a moving and funny memoir, 'Longshot: The Adventures of a Deaf Fundamentalist Mormon Kid and His Journey to the NBA,' which was published in May., More than a story about how he beat the odds and wound up one of the best rebounders in the NCAA ... and then played for the Cleveland Cavaliers, it's a personal account of Allred's struggle to rebound from challenges and make peace with himself., A Paul Shirleyesque tale of a basketball outsider....a welcome departure from cookie-cutter sports autobiographies., In an ingratiating, self-deprecating style...[Allred's] is a genuinely unlikely story, but he relates it with humor, insight, and compassion.
