Where Tomorrows Aren’t Promised
“Carmelo and I played together on two Olympic teams and on the Houston Rockets. His story of growing up in the housing projects of Brooklyn and Baltimore, dealing with the loss of his dad at an early age, and overcoming those odds and more to become one of the best NBA players of all time, is more than inspiring. This is a great example of the power of determination.” —Chris Paul
The Ride of a Lifetime
“This is one of my favorite books on leadership. It takes a very special person to run a company as iconic and large as Disney, much less to take and bring the company to new heights. Bob shares the leadership skills and values he used to turn Disney around, which are relevant for all readers to use in their everyday lives.” —Chris Paul
