I loved seeing how you look at. My race, I never thought that you would see us as so different.i loved seeing the process of breaking into the big leagues, I am a great lover of the warriors. Klay is my favorite. I like his sence of humor. When the Hampton 5 is on the floor there is no beating them. I have cheered for you and have been so grateful to you for opening g up your life to us in this book. You have made me understand your life from your angle. Loved it, will recomend it to all my basketball friends ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I read this book in one sitting. Couldn't put it down. *by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2019* I grew up in what you might naturally call white Springfield, IL. My address barely made it within the city limits, and I went to school K-12 in a neighboring bedroom community. The first time I can remember having an extended interaction with black people was when my 7th grade basketball team faced off against Franklin Middle School (Where Andre went to school and played basketball). My house was only 15 minutes away from Franklin.Andre Iguodala and I both grew up in the same town. But we didn't. Andre draws a vivid picture of what it meant to grow up as a young black man in a small midwestern city, and what it meant for him to transcend the life cycle of getting stuck where you grew up. His story is full of the lessons he learned, and how he grew into a professional who is confident with his place on the court and in the world.In a media cycle that gobbles up stories and spits out hot takes, it's clear that Andre words are marinated not microwaved. As a 15-year NBA veteran he has experienced the full gamut of life under the public microscope. The narratives we live by and use to interpret the stories of professional athletes may be popular, but that doesn't necessarily make them true. In "The Sixth Man" you will hear a compelling example of why it's important that the main characters in our narrative arcs deserve a chance to share their own perspectives.You'll be better for reading this book. My appreciation and interest in Andre has always been high because we grew up in the same midwestern city. Now that appreciation has only deepened, and I have a more complete picture of the city I grew up in. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Sincere Glimpse into the American Athletic Establishment *by A***S on Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2019* The Sixth Man tells a compelling story. One by one, Andre Iguodala picks apart the stereotypes and gets at the reality of being a black man, a basketball player and an NBA star. But the book isn’t a tell-all or a stab in the back to those who’ve made his success possible. Instead, it reads like an incredibly sincere account of what his life is really like—beyond all the hype.Iguodala’s childhood was anything but ideal. Raised by his grandma and mom, he had to deal with poverty, racism and the lack of his biological father’s presence. His mom comes across as quite a character. She both went without a car and coat so her kids could go to school appropriately dressed and punched a woman to the ground in front of Andre.The focus of the book is not on his childhood, however, but on the game of basketball itself. Iguodala’s insights are not as original as they are articulate: NCAA basketball is one of the biggest hypocrisies in America, many coaches only pretend to care about their players and the human body is not meant to run up and down a hard court eighty-two times a year.Similarly, he depicts being black in contemporary America vividly. Iguodala justifiably felt fear when playing in the Utah Jazz’s arena where some of the twenty thousand white fans were screaming curse words at him. The night before he had seen white nationalists marching on TV. He’s had NBA refs treat him when he complains about a call as if he didn’t have the right since he’s African-American. All of it is expressed without hatred but without rose colored glasses either.The only negatives I found in the book aren’t really Iguodala’s fault. First, there are a lot of cliche phrases that should have been edited out. But he employed an accomplished writer as co-author who should have caught these. And he doesn’t really give you a behind the scenes look at the Warriors like he does for the rest of his life. But who can blame him? Should he really have jeopardized his relationships with his current teammates and the future of the Warriors’ success to sell a few more copies?An incredibly sincere look at race, poverty and the modern athletic establishment in America. Worth reading by anybody interested in broadening their minds on these topics. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/130749715-the-sixth-man-a-memoir](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/130749715-the-sixth-man-a-memoir) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
