The Chicago Bulls top draft pick-and the second pick of the entire draft-he had the great Michael Jordans locker. Then he ran his high-performance motorcycle head-on into a light pole, severely damaging himself and ending his career.In this intense, hard-hitting, and deeply profound memoir, Williams talks about the accident that transformed him. Sometimes, the memories are so fresh, he feels like hell never escape the past. Most days, he finds a quiet peace as a commentator on ESPN and as an entrepreneur who can only look back in astonishment at his younger self-a kid who had it all, thought he was invincible, and lost everything . . . only to gain new wisdom.Williams also shares behind the scenes details of life as an All-American. He tells it straight about the scandalous recruiting process and his decision to return to Duke and Coach K-a man who taught him about accountability-to finish his education. He also speaks out about corruption-among coaches, administrators, players, and alumni-and about his time in the NBA, introducing us to a dark underworld culture in the pros: the gambling, drugs, and sex in every city, with players on every team.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51526944751904,"sku":"NEW0062327992","price":13.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61OHqJ7VteL.jpg?v=1777224951","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/life-is-not-an-accident-a-memoir-of-reinvention-0062327992","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
