Exclusive Nike Basketball Olympics Book - United We Rise
Nike United We Rise BookInspiration comes in many different forms. Whether it is a song, movie, or literature people look to different sources to move them. With the Olympics less than a month away the time for our athletes, especially the Men’s Senior National Team, to become encouraged to bring the gold home…if they aren’t already.
I recently attended ‘The Commitment’ USAB exhibit and received a book put together by Nike that made me want to get on the next thing smoking to Beijing and bring home the gold medal. Titled ‘United We Rise,’ which also is the U.S.’s theme for these Olympic games, the book is a picture montage of the players in the USA Basketball program as well as small excerpts from Jerry Colangelo, Head Coach Mike Krzyzewski, and the players themselves on what the concept of reppin’ the United States of America means to them.
The pics in the book are great. From the candid shots to the glossy Team USA photos of J. Kidd, ‘Melo, ‘Bron, and Kobe, ‘United We Rise’ is a great piece of memorabilia to have if you are a fan of basketball.
Unfortunately, the book will not be available for general release, if you can get your hands on one hold on to it. A definite collector’s item.
