"The Punch" was an excellent book. A little repetitious, as other reviewers have indicated, but otherwise the author took a difficult topic and did a fine job. A few points on the content. There is disagreement as to who threw the first punch- Kunnert or Washington. Kermit and Kareem say that Kunnert threw the first punch. Kunnert and referees Bob Rakel and Ed Middleton say that Kermit threw the first punch. Regardless of who threw the first punch, Washington was completely at fault for viciously attacking Tomjanovich, who was trying to break up the fight. If Washington was concerned about his safety, he should have put his hands up or moved elsewhere on the floor. Washington had a history of NBA fights, at least three of which caused his ejection . This includes one fight in practice in which he beat up one of his own teammates.In my opinion, Washington had a chip on his shoulder, and this chip was exacerbated after the fight and seemed to have a racial aspect. According to Washington, his lengthy suspension, loss in the civil suit filed against him and the Lakers, and his inability to find steady, long-term work were due to the fight and to racism on the part of the NBA, the public and the world in general. In 1995 he applied for the job of Athletic Director at American University. He was not chosen because he had no front office experience, but AU said he could come in as an Assistant AD and gain experience. Apparently this wasn’t good enough for Washington. He said he should be made the AD because of his name, and the experienced person should be under him as the Assistant AD. He had a lawyer send a letter to the NBA asking for $5 million dollars because he felt there was a conspiracy to besmirch his name. The NBA paid him nothing. earlier, when his agent was trying to get the best possible outcome on his suspension, Washington almost loused up his chances by talking about watermelon and fried chicken. He did many good things, his friends spoke well of him, and he had a difficult childhood, but he seemed to be a volcano waiting to erupt.
This book was recommended to me by a coworker who thought the lessons of the life-long impact of an incident, and how they dealt with it, on two different people would be applicable to some of my own life events. The recommendation was a solid one, and I appreciated learning about (I can't say more because I never knew about "the punch" until I read the book) "the punch" and how Tomjanovich and Washington dealt with not only the physical aftermath of the incident, but also the emotional and mental aftermath.The lesson is easy, if not predictable, but having it play out as you read it and realizing two men really experienced this helps to make the lesson more applicable.I was less impressed with the writing, which I felt needed a good editor. Major stories were repeated and quotes were often reused.
Feinstein is a fine writer but you wouldn't know it from this. This really should have been a retrospective article in Sports Illustrated, not a full-sized book. I often thought there were printing errors in my copy because I was reading similar passages over and over. But no, I suppose Feinstein needed to get a decent sized book so he did what he had to do.But at least I have a better overall view of Kermit Washington. He's a really great guy in many ways, very charitable and caring. The problem is he's handled just about everything relating to "the punch" poorly. He blames another player, tells Rudy how much he's suffered in a rare meeting, sues the NBA, etc. etc. I think it was John Lucas who advised him to take responsibility and move on, not say "I'm sorry, but...". Unfortunately, Washington hasn't taken this advice. I hope someday he does, because there's no winning when you look for excuses and scapegoats in something horrific you've done.
A BUNCH of info about professional basketball back in the '70's. I HIGHLY recommend
John Feinstein has again transported us to another world. He is the master at helping lead the reader somewhere he is not likely to go on his own. Feinstein is a master storyteller. This story of the effect one moment on the lives of two men is both fascinating and compelling.
Good book and very interesting reading. Some parts a little repetitive but overall a good book.
Now, I finally know the when, what, who, how and why of this story. All sports fan should read this book.
An interesting story that I knew nothing about before I read the book. It's amazing to me how one 5-second incident can affect lives forever. But I think the lesson of the book is that you don't HAVE to let it affect you forever. It is, of course, just the author's take based on his interviews, but it is sad that it seems Kermit Washington has never been able to move on from something that happened in 1977. Bitterness is a nasty poison.
