It took decades for the life story of one of Europe’s greatest basketball players of all time to see the light of day. This unique autobiography by basketball genius Krešimir Ćosić presents a masterful account of the history of basketball in this region (1965–1983), the success and global renown of a legendary generation, and his own religious and philosophical reflections. It is the story of an elite athlete who was always seeking his own path—a man unmoved by fame or the enjoyment of it, and who refused, at any cost, to become a slave to his great passion. He turned down all offers from American professional teams because he could not accept the idea of money alone dictating his life and his very being. "It was clear to me that life holds dimensions far broader, deeper, and higher than the game itself, and that the magic of the sport lies in genuine competition, not in something bought. So, I decided early on that money, fame, and vanity would mean nothing to me. I play, I live, and I will succeed in doing so."
