THE SIXTH MAN A Memoir

Sullivan Jones narrates this sports memoir with the appropriate amount of energy. NBA fans know Andrew Iguodala as a force--the first man to be taken off the bench to replace one of the five starters. As a "sixth man," he's known for giving his team a boost through his determination on the court. Jones's delivery is never too emotional but never too understated or low-key, a style that reflects Iguodala's personality. The audiobook shapes a portrait of the player without relying on statistics, and that's a good thing. Iguodala is opinionated--about coaches, referees, the media, and life as a professional athlete--and Jones's performance captures his vitality and bold temperament. Listeners may not agree with everything Iguodala says, but he explains himself as clearly as Jones narrates. M.B. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2019]
