Rod Hundley announces Jazz games on radio, TV, and cable and he has the unique distinction of being the only announcer in Jazz history. Rod's unique style and familiar voice have made him one of the most popular and well-recognized broadcasters in the business today. His broadcasting career includes stints with the New Orleans Jazz, Los Angeles Lakers, and the Phoenix Suns. A three-year All-American at West Virginia, Hundley was the first pick of the 1957 NBA College draft by Cincinnati. His flamboyant playing style earned him the name Hot Rod while at West Virginia.

Excellent book about Hundley's basketball experiences., July 31 1999
By Jon Kessel (annkes@aol.com - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hot Rod Hundley: You Gotta Love It Baby! (Hardcover)
Hot Rod Hundley was the first player drafted in the 1957 NBA draft. He played six years for the Lakers in Minneapolis and Los Angeles. Following his playing career, Hot Rod has remained active is the sport. He is currently the play by play announcer for the Utah Jazz. Since 1957, he has seen or played with or against almost every great NBA player. In his book, which is basically his basketball autobiography, Hundley analyzes the game and its great and not so great players. Hot Rod Hundley was a showy basketball player; he was fancy and "cool" long before they became essentials in the professional game. His writing is much the same as his game was. His book is a good interesting read. His style is both conversational and informative. He gives his opinions freely and unhesitantly. He can be lavish with his praise and unsparing with his criticism. If you are a basketball fan or a Hot Rod Hundley fan, you will enjoy this book.

You Gotta Love It, Baby, Jan 31 2000
By Susan Peverley - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hot Rod Hundley: You Gotta Love It Baby! (Hardcover)
This is a refreshing and amusing book about a man who has made the NBA a more entertaining place for the basketball fan. You do not have to be a Rod Hundley fan, a Utah Jazz fan, or even a basketball fan to enjoy his opinions and experiences. From his troubled childhood to his golden years, Hundley speaks his mind in a fresh and honest manner. The effort put in by McEachin to edit and organize 60 years of Hundley's stories and anecdotes is obvious, and the result is a thoroughly enjoyable book.

I DIDNT LOVE THIS BOOK BUT I LIKED IT, Nov 12 2006
By COOL JEWEL - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hot Rod Hundley: You Gotta Love It Baby! (Hardcover)
THIS IS A BOOK BY ROD HUNDLEY EX NBA PLAYER AND BROADCASTER. I FOUND HIS BOOK TO BE VERY INTERESTING AND ENTERTAINING. ROD WAS QUITE A CHARACTER AND A CROWD PLEASER. I REALLY ENJOYED HIS STORIES CONCERNING HIS EARLY LIFE AND CAREER WITH THE LAKERS. ROD THEN TURNED TO BROADCASTING WHEN HIS CAREER ENDED. I ALSO ENJOYED HIS MANY STORIES CONCERNING HIS BROADCASTING CAREER BUT GOT TIRED OF HEARING HOW GREAT JOHN STOCKTON AND KARL MALONE WERE. OVERALL THIS IS A VERY NICE READ FOR ALL LAKER, WEST VIRGINIA, JAZZ AND NBA FANS
Listmania!
