Straight Shooter: A Memoir of Second Chances and First Takes
Signed by: Stephen A. Smith

SPECIAL LIMITED AUTOGRAPHED HARDCOVER EDITION

Love him or hate him, the host of ESPN’s First Take, Stephen A. Smith brings the passion to sports coverage. He makes frequent appearances as an NBA analyst for ESPN on SportsCenter, NBA Countdown, and the network’s NBA broadcasts. He has also hosted The Stephen A. Smith Show on ESPN Radio. Smith is a featured columnist for ESPN and The Philadelphia Inquirer.

In Straight Shooter, Stephen A. explains exactly how he climbed to the top of a media empire. This entertaining and revealing memoir addresses sports — the defining focus of Stephen A.’s life and career — but also touches powerfully on his childhood, family, and fatherhood, bringing readers behind the First Take desk and into his mind. From his own experience, he writes about knowing your value, spotting opportunities, building relationships, owning your brand, and promoting what you do best. Blending the provocative with the personal, this book is about how he overcame the odds by harnessing his integrity.

As Stephen A. says: “You can criticize me. You can crucify me. You can love me. You can hate me. Just don’t make the mistake of calling me inauthentic, because you’d be a damn liar.”
