An initial review:

"Hoop Dreams Fulfilled proves that you don't truly know someone unless they decide to let you in. I thought I knew Tyson, but the emotional bravery in his book rocked me. Most writers hide their truth in fancy phrases and perfumed prose. Hoop Dreams Fulfilled isn't that book. I was amazed at the honest look inside his world playing basketball, including his thoughts, fears, motivations and dreams."
