West, Basketball, New, Used & Rental Textbooks 

An updated edition of Swee'pea is scheduled for re-release by ATRIA BOOKS, a Simon & Schuster Company, in summer 2016. The new edition will feature a new Author's Note and an Epilogue to update the lives and careers of many of the key figures in the book, as well as provide some new context to the original text -- while leaving the main text as a period piece about playground basketball in New York and the life of Lloyd "Swee'pea" Daniels . . . Out of print for almost 25 years, Swee'pea chronicled the early life and times of Daniels,then an up-and-coming but troubled New York City prep and playground star . . . Fast becoming a basketball legend, earning enthusiastic comparisons to Magic Johnson and other basketball greats, Daniels was recruited by UNLV -- and then suffered a dramatic fall. Gritty and hard-hitting, this is the story of how many of basketball's best players throw away multimillion dollar careers, and why some manage to succeed. - from Amzon
