Can I Keep My Jersey?: Eleven Teams, Six Years, Five Countries, and My So-called Career as a Professional Basketball Player by Chuck Klosterman, Paul Shirley

2.0

There's a couple interesting stories but overall, it's a lot of whining. He's convinced he didn't make it in the NBA because he's white. He was making $20,0000 a month (after taxes) in Spain with a free apartment on the beach and a car but apparently that sucked. $55,000 a month also sucked.

There's an anecdote near the end about an old man who comes up and asks how tall he is and Shirley seems to be pissed off that people wonder just how tall he is. Old guy even helps him load his groceries but all Paul Shirley is concerned about is that he didn't want to hear the old man's stories about the Korean War.

I'm glad he got never played again in the NBA and that ESPN ended up firing him too.
