**The Instant National Bestseller** The standout memoir from NBA
powerhouse Andre Iguodala, the indomitable sixth man of the Golden
State Warriors. Fresh off the Warriors' fourth Finals win in eight
years, Andre Iguodala long has been one of the most admired players
in the NBA. Off the court, Iguodala has earned respect, too-for his
successful tech investments, his philanthropy, and increasingly for
his contributions to the conversation about race in America. It is
no surprise, then, that in his first book, Andre, with his cowriter
Carvell Wallace, has pushed himself to go further than he ever has
before about his life, not only as an athlete but about what makes
him who he is at his core. The Sixth Man traces Andre's journey
from childhood in his Illinois hometown to his Bay Area home court
today. Basketball has always been there. But this is the story,
too, of his experience of the conflict and racial tension always at
hand in a professional league made up largely of African American
men; of whether and why the athlete owes the total sacrifice of his
body; of the relationship between competition and brotherhood among
the players of one of history's most glorious championship teams.
And of what motivates an athlete to keep striving for more once
they've already achieved the highest level of play they could have
dreamed. On drive, on leadership, on pain, on accomplishment, on
the shame of being given a role, and the glory of taking a role on:
This is a powerful memoir of life and basketball that reveals new
depths to the superstar athlete, and offers tremendous insight into
most urgent stories being told in American society today.
