Homecourt Advantage

By Rita Ewing, Crystal McCrary-Anthony, Crystal McCrary Anthony

Book Overview

The sports pages trumpet the exploits of the superstar players of the New York Flyers basketball team -- while the gossip columns hint of their infidelities and steamy off-court activities. And in the shadows behind the bright spotlights, the wives and girlfriends struggle to keep the insanity at bay and their relationships alive in a world of fame, big money, shady dealings, and easy sex. Now, with the playoffs looming and the team's future in jeopardy, the temptations to sin are even stronger than ever. And before the season's out, the women behind "the great men" -- led by Casey Rogers, the beautiful, sexy, savvy lawyer wife of the Flyers' star forward -- are going to rock the NBA to its core.

Inspirational....

I enjoyed reading this book immensely. I have a radio book club and we're reviewing this book for this month. After I announced that Homecourt Advantage was our book of the month, a young lady who had already read it, called me excitedly and said I want to be on your panel to talk about the book, because I read it and it was "delicious." That's her description of any book that she really likes. And I couldn't agree...

Excellent

I very rarely find a book I can read cover to cover. I couldn't put this one down. Very good story and it seemed like it was real when I was reading it.

This book was awesome!

I read this book in 24 hours! I enjoyed reading the "inside" information on the lives of NBA wives, significant others,etc. I have often wondered how that lifestyle is. It can be a price to pay depending on the professional athlete you're involved with. The characters were very real; I cried for some of the women who went through the pains and laughed at Kelly when she met with Mrs. Coach! The book took me through...

When a book brings tears to my eyes at the end of it, that is a darn good BOOK!!!! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Hats off to Rita Ewing and Crystal McCrary for painting such an intricate picture of what goes on behind the scenes in professional sports. What I liked most about it is the support of the female characters. If ever a book described the importance of Black Women sticking together to make this a...
