As his beloved affair with the game of basketball, ingrained in him as a young boy growing up in the gritty Brownsville section of Brooklyn, grew into a life-long journey around the world, Herb Turetzky suddenly found himself returning to his roots, at the newly-opened Barclays Center, just ten subway stops on the IRT New Lots line from his boyhood home. With the Brooklyn Nets' new home in his home borough, a short five-minute walk from his alma mater, Long Island University, and a thirty minute drive from his Bayside, Queens home, his almost fifty year Nets' career was rejuvenated, enabling Herb to envision continuing his amazing career while, at the same time, finding his memory of so many greats of the game rekindled. This lifetime fascination, coupled with his long-standing relationships with close boyhood friends and even closer family members, including the recent birth of his first grandchild, have enabled Herb to put together this autobiographical collection of original poetry, a strongly suggested read for followers of basketball, Brooklyn, the historic Brownsville and those with a hearty admiration of family ties.
