Earl "The Goat" Manigault had what it takes to become a superstar:
incredible leaping ability, great timing, and unstoppable moves. He
sets a New York City junior high school record by scoring 52 points
in one game. In high school and on the playgrounds of Harlem, he
astonished opponents with his acrobatic shots, including the
patented double dunk. Although seventy-two colleges offered him
scholarships, lack of discipline and bad breaks sent Manigault
stumbling into a world of heroin addiction and petty crimes for
three years. He succumbed to the fast land life that sapped the
lives of so many of his friends in the 1960's. The Goat kicked the
habit, however, and then returned to Harlem to start his own summer
basketball league for black youth. This inspiring story of how one
man rebuilts his life is told with vivid, no-holds-barred
descriptions of the harshness, humour and love in today's inner
city.
