Resumen del Editor
INSTANT #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER
The Raptors' story is an underdog story—and the same is true for their greatest superfan. This instant #1 bestselling memoir offers a courtside view into the extraordinary life of Nav Bhatia.
You know him as the Raptors Superfan, but Nav Bhatia's story is bigger than basketball.
Nav immigrated to Canada from India after experiencing many hardships—only to face a host of new challenges. Life as an immigrant was gruelling and grey . . . and then, a new basketball team came to town. As Nav cheered on the Toronto Raptors at game after game, as they lost, as they won, on the good days and the bad, he discovered inspiration and community in the greatest game on Earth, formed life-long bonds with many of the best players the sport has ever known, and solidified his own place in the Basketball Hall of Fame.
In this memoir, Nav shares his incredible personal story of triumphing over adversity, as well as the lessons that propelled him to success in all facets of life: as an entrepreneur, movie producer, humanitarian, son, father and husband, and the Raptors' most dedicated supporter. And woven throughout the book are intimate, colourful behind-the-scenes stories about the Raptors—from their very first game in 1995 to their 2019 Championship win, and beyond—that only the Superfan could know.
This is a book about loyalty, perseverance and the power of sports to unite us across differences—and, most of all, about how following your passions can lead you to the most extraordinary places.
Reseñas de la Crítica
Instant #1 National Bestseller
"I met Nav Bhatia early on in my career in Toronto. We instantly connected. He wants nothing but the best for people. He treats every player like they are family no matter where they are playing. His story is one of determination and dedication—traits that have made him successful. I can honestly say I am lucky to have Nav in my corner."—DeMar DeRozan, professional basketball player for the Chicago Bulls, former Toronto Raptor
"When I was part-owner and general manager of the Toronto Raptors, I began to notice this one fan who showed up to every Raptors game and cheered louder than anyone else in the arena. Well, he made us all notice him! And we're lucky he did. Nav Bhatia is an example to us all of how to move through this world with integrity."—Isiah Thomas, co-founder of the Toronto Raptors, 2x champion with the Detroit Pistons, Hall Of Fame 2000, NBA Top 50/75
"Nav Bhatia was one of the first people I met in Toronto. I have never met someone so passionate about basketball. How he brought everyone together using his love of the Raptors is a story worth reading."—Scottie Barnes, professional basketball player for the Toronto Raptors
