In this article, former NBA star Darius Miles talks about his crazy life, from the beginning of his rough upbringing in east St. Louis, his time in the nba during which he dealt with death and mental issues, to his downfall and recovery.  The author and his editor tell of times where they were in East St. Louis and the dangers he faced in the streets, both as an adult and child.  He talks about interactions with nba legends like Shawn Kemp, Alonzo Mounrning and more.  In the end he tells of his issues with deooression and addiction and his best friend helped him move to Florida where he is healthy and sober.  The author gives a very real and honest account of his life, talking about his lowest points in life suffering depression and addiction.  Although the author does use vulgar language and slang, the images and overall story of his life were fascinating and that’s why I would give it a star rating of 8.5 out of 10.
