　　Bill Bradley was a three-time basketball all-American at

Princeton, Olympic gold medalist, Rhodes scholar, member of the New

York Knicks from 1967 to 1977 and two-time NBA champion; he was

elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1982. He served as United

States senator from New Jersey from 1979 to 1997. Since leaving the

Senate, he has been affiliated with Stanford University, the

University of Maryland, and Notre Dame. Bradley is the author of

Life on the Run, The Fair Tax, and Time Present, Time Past. Bill

Bradley, U.S. Senator from New Jersey from 1979 to 1997 and a

member of two championship New York Knicks teams, returns to the

scene of his first career, and his first great passion, basketball.

Things have changed since his championship days — the shorts are

longer and the salaries higher — but what separates winners and

losers remains very much the same: No collection of players, no

matter how good, can win unless they form a team. And no team can

succeed unless it shares common values, among them courage,

discipline, resilience, respect, and an unmitigated passion for the

game.

In 10 essays, filled with intensely personal observations and

reflections, Bradley revisits the basketball court with the fire of

the competitor and the eye of the writer, and explores these

qualities in action: the dynamics of teammates on the court and

off; the pure love of the game that leads to the unselfish pass or

the screen away from the ball; the individual courage to risk the

last-second shot, to face a hostile crowd, to say "I blew it"; the

responsibility to teammates, coaches, and fans to stay in shape,

play hard, and honor the game.

Values of the Game is illustrated with more than 120 dramatic

photographs of players, coaches, and classic games, culled from the

NBA archives and the author's personal collection: from legends

such as Bill Russell, Oscar Robertson, and Bob Cousy, through the

brilliant Magic Johnson/Larry Bird years to young stars such as

Grant Hill and Glen Rice, and of course the greatest ever, Michael

Jordan.

In his best-selling Life on the Run, Bradley offered fans a

fascinating account of the day-in day-out experiences of an NBA

star. In Values of the Game, he shifts his thinking to a larger

universe. He pulls back the curtain once again, letting us in on

basketball's secrets — many of which, it turns out, extend to life

beyond the hardwood court.

书籍介绍

As the Presidential run heats up with the start of the primary season in New Hampshire on February 2, the attention to the candidates and their issues will become even more intense. Values of the Game is an ideal book to understand Bill Bradley, the man and the candidate.The values that Bill speaks of so frequently during his campaign speeches are reflected in Values of the Game --responsibility, discipline, passion, selflessness and respect.

Bill Bradley, candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination for 2000, former U.S. senator from New Jersey from 1979 to 1997, and a member of two championship New York Knicks teams, returns to the scene of his first career and his first great passion, basketball.

Things have changed since Bradley's championship days, but what separates winners and losers remains very much the same: No collection of players, no matter how good, can win unless they form a team. And no team can succeed unless it shares common values, among them courage, discipline, resilience, respect, and an unmitigated passion for the game. In this highly acclaimed and bestselling book, Bill Bradley offers his vision for how the principles he developed playing basketball can be applied to everyday life, be it at the office, at home, in public life--indeed, in any situation where values matter.

In ten essays, filled with intensely personal observations and reflections, Bradley revisits the basketball court with the fire of the competitor and the eye of the writer and explores these qualities in action: the dynamics of teammates on the court and off, the individual courage to risk the last-second shot, the responsibility to teammates, coaches, and fans to stay in shape, play hard, and honor the game. Values of the Game is one man's vision for a better world, and is a lasting statement of principle and commitment from one of our country's finest leaders.
