Journey Man

Tom Van Arsdale holds two NBA Records: He's played the most games without a playoff appearance, and scored more points than anyone without a playoff appearance.  It was rotten luck to break those records, but Tom's career is more than those unwitting accomplishments.  In this memoir – spanning his amateur years in Indiana and 12 seasons in the NBA – Tom shares stories, dreams, and tall tales that reveal the true nature of his time in basketball.  He discussed women with Wilt Chamberlain, caught assists from Oscar Robertson, and received a life-changing second chance from Dave DeBusschere. It wasn't always steady, glamorous, or easy. This isn't about a Hall of Famer or a superstar. This is a memoir by a journeyman. Prepare for a bumpy ride.
