The Soul of Basketball tells the story of an NBA prodigy, his league and their sport in the throes of crisis during the pivotal 2010-11 season. It began with The Decision, that infamous televised moment when uber-star LeBron James revealed that he was leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers - thereby distancing himself from his role model Michael Jordan - to pursue his first championship with his former opponents on the Miami Heat. To the great fortune of LeBron, the NBA and basketball itself, the mission didn't work out as planned. In the cultural tradition of Moneyball and Friday Night Lights, veteran NBA writer Ian Thomsen portrays the NBA as a self-correcting society in which young LeBron is forced to absorb hard truths inflicted by his rivals Kobe Bryant, Doc Rivers and Dirk Nowitzki, in addition to lessons set forth by Pat Riley, Gregg Popovich, Larry Bird, David Stern, Joey Crawford and many more. This is about the making of a champion. Brimming with inside access, The Soul of Basketball tells the inspiring story of LeBron's loneliest year, insecure and uncertain, when his ultimate foe was an unlikely immigrant who renewed the American game's ideals. From Miami to Boston, Los Angeles to Dallas, Germany to the NBA's Manhattan headquarters, the biggest names in basketball are driven by something more valuable than money and fame - a quest that will pave the way for Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and future generations to thrive.Binding Type: Hardcover

We really like these!!
Color: Bright White Accent Light
Easy install. Seem to be made well. They work well lighting our path. It's nice you can use your foot to push the stake in, but be careful, somehow a piece broke off of the end when we did. It's okay, we still were able to make it work, just something to be aware of. It'd be better if they made that part from metal. Otherwise they seem sturdy and were hoping they last well. Solar is a fabulous thing. Lights up our nights!!

Disappointing
Color: Bright White Accent Light
Terrible. I bought a lot of these, thinking they would be better quality, since they cost more than most of the other solar lights on Amazon. But they rarely all work -even in summer after some of the sunniest days. (Yes they are “on”). My husband bought some really cheap plastic ones, made by another brand, which average out about 2 dollars a piece and those actually work great.

Bought 4 - burned out in 6 wks
I paid full price and purchased four of these; within six weeks one was inoperable and won't turn on at all. Dead. One other is barely hanging on and two are still doing okay. Given the price, I'd expect far more.

Can’t recommend with 2/6 failing in 2
Purchased 6 lights, two failed within 8 weeks photo shows dead la get on left vs functional one on right. Sadly, I have received no response or support from the company. Who knows how long the other 4 lights will last.
