Why should you get this book
DEFINITION 5
I would recommend this to any die ha rd basketball fans. because it
keeps the sport of basketball the sam e just like a normal high
school basketball team would operate with a few little twist and
turns This book is a thriller and foresh adows many realistic events I
really liked this book is that it was abou t sports but it also told a
great story outside of all of the sports. This is one of the better
basketball books I have read and I hop e you enjoy your readings
as well
