Former NBA star Luther Wright shares his harrowing and uplifting
journey of finding God--and himself--when he had nothing else to lose.
Luther Wright had the life hoop dreams are made of. A first-round NBA
draft pick for the Utah Jazz, he was a rookie on a team with basketball
legends Karl Malone and John Stockton. He had money, women, cars, and a
luxurious bachelor pad overlooking Salt Lake City. But within a year,
ravaged by drugs and unable to cope with life as an NBA star, he was
homeless, broke, and addicted to crack cocaine.
Wright never wanted to play basketball, yet standing more than seven
feet tall even as a boy, he thought he had no choice. In this
heartrending memoir, he writes candidly about the self-destructive
spiral he found himself on after neglecting his passions to pursue the
dreams of others. After years of living on the streets, he finally found
a gift greater than anything his millions could have bought him--God.
Today, Wright offers a simple message: believe in yourself, follow your
dreams, and only then will you find your Perfect Fit.
