Product Description
An all-access look at the Lakers' championship season

"Elizabeth Kaye is a wonderful writer--as a reporter she's like a bulldog--she grabs onto you and doesn't let go until she figures out everything about you. Throughout Ain't No Tomorrow, she discovers and explains the game of basketball in a way that no one ever has. She takes the reader through the mental preparation, coaching strategies, and personal struggles of players--who are part Rocky and part Rambo. If you like to read, you'll love Ain't No Tomorrow."
--Sylvester Stallone

At the start of the 2000 NBA playoffs, the famously underachieving Los Angeles Lakers found themselves the focus of national attention. The team that had limped along since the golden era of Magic Johnson was now endowed with basketball's two most gifted and dominant players, Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, and was led by none other than Phil Jackson, the most fabled coach in the NBA. By the time the Lakers beat Indiana in game six of the championship series, they showed themselves unstoppable, a team above and apart and blessed with a glamour and facility that made them the obvious franchise to lead pro basketball into the new millennium.

Then everything began to fall apart. Jackson had warned his team that the truly challenging season is the one after an initial big win, and his words were quickly becoming reality as the great team slipped into profound disarray at the start of the new season. Ain't No Tomorrow is an intimate look at the astonishing eight-month roller-coaster ride that became the Lakers' 2000­-2001 season: a time of tumult and drama when impulses toward brotherhood and unity dissolved into petty, ugly battles and bruised egos; when men who previously rose to a great challenge grew greedy and slack.

Combining brilliant reporting and original perspective, Elizabeth Kaye­­--a journalist granted special access to Jackson, Shaq, Kobe, and other major players--­­takes you into the minds and hearts of the team members. She chronicles the unique story of a team that ultimately righted itself, united, and found its way to a second championship title--­­but only after an extraordinary season in which exciting sports drama becomes human drama at its most compelling and complex. ...

I LIKED IT
THE AUTHOR OF THIS BOOK HAS NO EXPERIENCE COVERING SPORTS. IN HER FIRST ATTEMPT I THINK SHE DOES A VERY GOOD JOB DESCRIBING THE CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON OF THE 2000 LAKERS. THE DETAILED RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE PLAYERS IS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THIS BOOK. NOT ONLY KOBE AND SHAQ BUT ALL THE OTHER PLAYERS ARE OF INTEREST IN THIS STORY. FROM ROBERY HORRY TO RICK FOX TO PHIL JACKSON, YOU FIND OUT SOMETHING INTERESTING ABOUT EACH ONE OF THEM. BUT THE MAIN STORY IS THE COMING OF AGE OF KOBE FROM A BALL HOG TO A COMPLETE PLAYMAKER AND PASSER. I RECOMMEND THIS FOR ALL BASKETBALL FANS.

Nothing new for real fans
This is a good book for part-time Laker fans. They get to learn a lot about locker room stories.
But if you're someone who regularly follow the Lakers'exploits during the season, on the internet or otherwise, you're not getting any wiser by reading this book. The author was just repeating articles form the LA Times, OCR and other sources. Reading passages in the book you get the feeling that you've already read that somewhere else.
This ain't a David Halberstram book.

Not Bad
Ain't No Tomorrow offers a unique perspective on the 2000-2001 World Champion L.A.Lakers in that Ms. Kaye is an outsider with very little - if any - previous basketball experience.She develops close relationships with many of the players, coaches, and members of the travelling media.The best aspect of this book is it's commentary on the individual relationships between the players and coaches.From a basketball standpoint, however, it is found wanting.Kaye's basketball terms and descriptions leave much to be desired as she continually uses improper terms and awkward phrases that detract from the flow of the book. A good read for a die-hard Laker fan - but if you're only going to read one Laker book - I'd pick a different one.Lyle Spencer's perhaps.

Really cool Insight to a Great Team
this Book takes on the inside on what got the Lakers to there Championship Level.SHAQ&KOBE are Unstoppable Period as a Duo.this Team really is something else because they have done what no other Teams that have had Championship Runs have done&that is Turn it On&Off whenever they feel like it.in the Words of Blake Carrington this is a Dynasty.and Phil Jackson has Spreaded the Zen&Brought this Team together as One.Mad Props to SHAQ You are The Baddest,Kobe 5 Years from now who is gonna stop you? Rick Fox,D-Fish,Brian Shaw Robert (Big Bucket)Horry&the whole Crew. time for Number 3.then another Chapter continues next Year&so On.

Keen insight
Ain't No Tomorrow is a remarkably insightful book that reads like a novel. After viewing the past several games the Lakers have played against the Kings, you have to ask how they manage to pull it off. They seem slow, not having a plan. They just are, is a Zen-like Phil Jackson way. But Kaye's absorbing book tells a much more complicated story, about egos and personal conflicts, especially between Shaq and Kobe, as well as unerutilized talent, that allows us to understand the team's unique dynamics. ...
