NEW YORK - s4story -- A Hoopster's Journey: The Carey Scurry Story is the basketball legend's true story. The once celebrated L.I.U. and NBA star for the Utah Jazz and NY Knicks whom Brazilian Coach Helio Rubens Garcia called, "One of the three greatest players he'd ever coached," fell upon hard times. This book details his life before and after his professional basketball career. Scurry knew, as he hung up his jersey and stepped away from the game, that beyond the cheers of the crowd and the roar in the arenas, were demons that caused his fall from grace plaguing his soul. Facing the challenges of his choices, A Hoopster's Journey is an unflinching and honest story of his triumphs, struggles, and the enduring power of the human spirit. It is heart-wrenching as it is heartwarming to see Scurry's renewed motivation, determination, rehabilitation, and perseverance to beat drug abuse and societal challenges, and to strive for achievement in the face of adversity.
"A Hoopster's Journey is a no-holds-barred memoir that needed to see the light of day. Be moved. Be inspired. Be transformed," stated Marva Allen, Wordeee CEO.
