　　He’s been called a journeyman. Even Paul wouldn’t dispute that

classification. Regardless, Bill Simm***, ESPN.com’s “The Sports

Guy,” has said of Paul Shirley, “We could finally have an answer to

the question ‘What would it be like if one of our friends was an

NBA player?”

There’s no denying that Paul Shirley is the closest thing pro

basketball’s got to Odysseus. In Homeric fashion, he has logged

time practically everywhere in the roundball universe, from six NBA

cities to pro leagues in Spain and Greece to North America’s pro

ball Siberia, the minor leagues. Hell, he’s even played in the real

Siberia. And in Can I Keep My Jersey?, Shirley finally puts down

roots long enough to deliver one of the great locker-room

chronicles of the modern age.

With sharp elbows and an even sharpe***it, Shirley–whose writings

have been described as “wildly entertaining” by The Wall Street

Journal–drops hilarious commentary, revealing which teams have the

best cheerleaders (he’s spent many a time-out watching them ply

their trade), why Christ is rapidly becoming every team’s “sixth

man,” and even the best ways to get bloodstains out of your game

uniform, using only an ordinary bar of soap and a ***el bathroom

sink.

From sharing the court with Kobe and Shaq to perusing the food

court at some mall in a bush-league burg; from taking pregame

layups to getting laid out by a stray knee from an NBA power

forward; from hopping a limo to the team’s charter jet to dashing

to catch the van home from a B-league game in Tijuana, Shirley

dishes on what it’s like to try to make it as a professional

athlete. Can I Keep My Jersey? is a rollicking, thoughtful, even

thought-provoking insider’s look at a pro baller’s life on the

fringe. Like Jim Bouton’s Ball Four or John Feinstein’s A Season on

the Brink, Shirley’s odyssey deserves to find a home on every

sports fan’s bookshelf.
