Review:

"An indescribable amalgam of Dave Barry, Jim Murray, and Lew Grizzard with the timing of Jay Leno and the wit of Johnny Carson. Reilly may well be the funniest sportswriter in America."
-- Publishers Weekly

"Slo-Mo is a splendid comic device whose literal telling of his NBA career says more about pro sports than he could ever know."
-- Chicago Tribune

"Slo-Mo! . . . is inspired satire, a laugh-a-minute, sometimes bawdy, over-the-top riff on everyone and everything associated with professional basketball. If you don't find something to laugh at with Slo-Mo!, run out, don't walk, and find a sense of humor."
-- Denver Post
