Are you looking for a good book to read this summer? Hoops Addict is going to help you out by giving away a couple copies of “Chicken Soup for the Soul: Inside Basketball.”

This book is filled with real stories about what it takes to become a champion on and off the court. With some of basketball’s biggest names including Chris Paul, Pat Riley, Grant Hill and the newest ambassador for basketball, President Barack Obama, “Chicken Soup for the Soul: Inside Basketball” shares insight into what players and coaches have gained from the sport.

In “Chicken Soup for the Soul: Inside Basketball,” you’ll read stories about:

-What happened when Barack Obama hooped it up with the North Carolina Tar Heels
-Grant Hill’s personal reminder about solid teamwork
-How Ed O’Bannon finally made the cover of Sports Illustrated
-How basketball kept Jim Jones, Jr. alive – and how it’s now helping to restore his family name

As one of the NBA’s most influential people, co-editor Pat Williams has seen how basketball’s best skills-leadership, teamwork and success-have impacted lives off-the-court and compiled stories from the world of basketball to explore just how the game has impacted so many of its players, including the President.

To secure your copy, all you need to do is leave a story in the comment section of this post about how basketball has helped motivate you to become a better person. It could be a story about how a coach helped you grow into the person you are today, how basketball has helped you deal with adversity or an example of how the sport has helped enrich your life in some way.

Winners will be announced on April 17, 2009.
