Rapture: Fifteen Teams, Four Countries, One NBA Championship, and How to Find a Way to Win - Damn Near Anywhere

Nick Nurse distills in Rapture the wisdom, insight, and experiences that helped him lead the Toronto Raptors to the NBA Championship in his first year as their head coach. 

Equal parts personal memoir, leadership manifesto, and philosophical meditation, Rapture provides unprecedented access inside the teams locker room to give readers an intimate study of not only the team culture he has built, but also of a rookie coach's unique dynamic with the star players who helped trailblaze the 2019 championship run.

"Whether you’re a coach, player or just a curious person, Nick’s journey reveals many lessons in the pursuit of personal growth and excellence, and the benefits that accrue to those willing to bet on themselves.” -- Steve Nash, eight-time NBA All-Star
