I May Be Wrong but I Doubt It is written by a basketball player who recounts his time in the NBA, such as with a player who currently owns what NBA team?
I May Be Wrong but I Doubt It I May Be Wrong but I Doubt It is a memoir by former American professional basketball player Charles Barkley. [This is not to be confused with the collection of columns by Pulitzer Prize and H. L. Mencken Writing Award-winning columnist Michael "Mike" Royko (September 19, 1932 – April 29, 1997), copyright 1968, Library of Congress Catalog Card No. 68–31464.] The book became a bestseller in 2002 and sold more than 125,000 copies. It reflects Barkley's own personality, experiences, and opinions. It explores a wide range of interests, and discusses a variety of controversial topics. Each chapter has its own theme, and ranges from politics to lack of minority control in sports. It also recounts some of Barkley's memorable experiences during his Hall of Fame NBA career, such as his involvement with Michael Jordan as a member of the legendary U.S. Olympic gold medal winning "Dream Team."
NBA draft The NBA draft is an annual event dating back to 1947 in which the (now thirty) teams from the National Basketball Association (NBA) can draft players who are eligible and wish to join the league. These are typically college basketball players, but international players are also eligible to be drafted. College players who have finished their four-year college eligibility are automatically eligible for selection, while the underclassmen have to declare their eligibility and give up their remaining college eligibility. International players who are at least 23 years old are automatically eligible for selection, while the players younger than 22 have to declare their eligibility. Players who are not automatically eligible but have declared their eligibility are often called "early-entrants" or "early-entry candidates". The draft usually takes place at the end of June, during the NBA offseason. Since 1989, the draft has consisted of two rounds; this is much shorter than the entry drafts of the other major professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada, all of which run at least seven rounds. Sixty players are selected in each draft. No player may sign with the NBA until he has been eligible for at least one draft.
