Prologue: Why it took fifty years to write this book -- When worlds collide: midwestern hick meets Harlem hoopster -- The game is afoot: It's never about winning and other courtside lessons -- Color bind: the unbearable darkness of being black -- What would Wooden do: religion, politics, and keeping the faith -- We've got trouble, right here in Pauley Pavilion: getting lost on Wooden Way -- "Time can bend your knees": the hours of friendship in the days of grief -- Our long day's journey into night.
