The NFL icon who first brought show business to sports shares his life lessons on fame, fatherhood, and football. Three days before the 1969 Super Bowl, Joe Namath promised the nation that he would lead the New York Jets to an 18-point underdog victory against the seemingly invincible Baltimore Colts. When the final whistle blew, that promise had been kept. Namath was instantly heralded as a gridiron god, while his rugged good looks, progressive views on race, and boyish charm quickly transformed him - in an era of raucous rebellion, shifting social norms, and political upheaval - into both a bona fide celebrity and a symbol of the commercialization of pro sports. By 26, with a championship title under his belt, he was quite simply the most famous athlete alive. Although his legacy has long been cemented in the history books, beneath the eccentric yet charismatic personality was a player plagued by injury and addiction, both sex and substance. When failing knees permanently derailed his career, he turned to Hollywood and endorsements, not to mention a tumultuous marriage and fleeting bouts of sobriety, to try and find purpose. Now 74, Namath is ready to open up, brilliantly using the four quarters of Super Bowl III as the narrative backbone to a life that was anything but charmed. As much about football and fame as about addiction, fatherhood, and coming to terms with our own mortality, All the Way finally reveals the man behind the icon.

The definitive biography of basketball genius Julius Erving--the icon who transcended his sport and defined an era Julius Erving, aka Dr. J, was a wizard with the basketball, performing feats the world had never seen before: midair spins and whirls punctuated by powerful slam dunks, which he was the first to glamorize. In a career that lasted from the 1970s well into the 1980s, he was one of the first players to make extemporaneous individual expression an integral part of the game, setting the style of play that has prevailed ever since. He's also long been respected as a gracious, dignified, and disciplined man. As there are great men of history, there are great men of sports, and Dr. J is just such a man. This book tells Dr. J's amazing story, following his basketball journey from his Long Island childhood to the street games of New York City to a college career as his skills, reputation, and character grew. It follows his entrance into the ABA, where he revolutionized the game by glamorizing the dunk, and his conquering of the NBA, where he was Michael Jordan before there was a Jordan. It relates the family struggles he's had since leaving the game and charts the transformation of the man into myth. The first complete biography of one of the greatest and most popular basketball players of all time Draws on interviews with Dr. J's childhood friends and his family to teammates and coaches at all levels Written by a New York Times sports journalist and author of Asphalt Gods: An Oral History of the Rucker Tournament Includes Erving's years as a player with the Virginia Squires, New York Nets, and Philadelphia 76ers Read Doc and follow the incredible journey of the basketball genius who elevated the game off the hardwood and helped make it America's passion.

About the Book For forty years a man has kept his silence, never telling anyone he has ever met or worked with or for. Not even his family could be told; or repercussions, removal from service, and forfeit of all benefits would result. The government didn’t want you to know they had a secret weapon: three Special Forces teams put together with the best of the best. The Honorable President Ronald Reagan had his hands full with terrorists and the Cold War with the Soviet Union. When Iranian militants seized the U.S. Embassy in Tehran on November 4, 1979, under President Jimmy Carter’s term of office, they held 52 Americans captive for 444 days. President Reagan knew he wasn’t going to ever allow this again. Now one brave man breaks his silence after forty years to honor his brave fallen brothers, and tells all his story, so you will know that they really did exist and their missions really did happen, despite the government’s coverup. This is the story of his life, his journey, his love of a lifetime that slipped away, and his struggles with PTSD and those who helped him along the way. About the Author Doc Jung is a retired military Veteran of 32 years of service. After retirement he worked for James Avery as a handmade jewelry tech. Then the opportunity came where he used his Airframe & Powerplant IA license to work for Texas Aircraft Manufacturing as their Quality Assurance Manager, which he still does today. His hobbies include, of course, target shooting and building handmade one-of-kind personalized birdhouses that reflect a person's personality. They are pieces of artwork and are on his Facebook page: HeyZombieLLC. Doc has always wanted to write books and even has some other rough draft books, but he has never pursued publishing them. This book is the true story he had to come out of silence to tell all, to honor his fallen Special Forces team brothers, to speak of his love of a lifetime that slipped away, and to reach out to those others who may be suffering from PTSD in hopes of stopping them from ending their own lives.

My book is about my experiences growing up in an extremely broken and abusive home. My rebellious and destructive choices led me to being incarcerated for over ten years of my life in both state and federal prisons, years spent functioning as a severe drug addict, and being emotionally and spiritually disconnected from God and all who loved me. It is my story of love finding me and shining a light so bright that I could not deny the existence of our living God and His profound love and overwhelming mercy. It is my story of realizing that I have never been alone.
