Ebook: Dick Vitale's Living a Dream: Reflections on 25 Years Sitting in the Best Seat in the House

Tales from the NCAA basketball beat from the legendary ESPN sportscaster and subject of the new documentary Dickie V.
Whether it was trying to convince his daughters he really was on TV (because their household didn't have cable); making good on a bet by standing on his head on camera; or flying over a crowd in an Elvis costume, Dick Vitale's career as a sports commentator has been filled with ups and downs, sometimes literally. In this memoir, he remembers his humble beginnings as a coach who'd been fired—and how he joined an unknown startup called ESPN that had the wild idea of offering sports twenty-four hours a day.
He also discusses the world of NCAA basketball—including the major problems he sees in college hoops and what he would do to fix them—as well as reminiscing about the rise of LeBron James and sharing his thoughts about those he considers the pillars of the sport. It's a must read for basketball fans, baby.
"His accomplishments are too many to list here. . . . He has been the best friend to the game. To me, that is his impact and legacy." —Mike Krzyzewski, from his Foreword
