Heaven Is a Playground: 4th Edition Hardcover – September 3, 2013

Street ball is legendary in the streets of NYC, especially in Brooklyn. This book captures the essence of the sports that is known as "don't bring yo name, bring yo game"

A time and a place that no longer exists, except in the hearts and minds of old folks like me. Honestly the only book I have ever reread. And plan to again.

A very well written outsider's account of the inner-city. This was a fair and not overly judgemental view of young, poor, and street-wise black kids playing the game of basketball, but were ill-equipped to play the game oof life. Loved it!!

I have read several sports nonfiction novels before and this is one of the best book. I see what's happening behind the scene, I mean sports and the young in the get to. I like the atmosphere and love those people have for young kids. Hope those kids can live in better environments.

I would recommend to any basketball fan or anyone interested in inter city life. This books seems like or was written about a different planet. Times were different and the environment was very different

Outstanding book. Great journey through the eyes of Rick who loved the game and who lived it through the souls of those he came to know on the play grounds of New York.

one of the best

Loved reading about one of my friends in this real deal story.
