A personal reflection on basketball, talent and allegiance, and of course, LeBron James.
What The Reviewers Say
bdurraqib uses one subject as a lens through which he views the culture at large — it's about hoops, sure, but it's also about so much more. It's another remarkable book from one of the country's smartest cultural critics.
Abdurraqib’s willingness to pile everything he’s able into his quasi-autobiographical, proto-philosophical inquiry into turn-of-the-twenty-first-century basketball.
Abdurraqib has found an entertaining way to make the act of watching sport akin to witnessing miracles. If you are looking to read something that 'pushes against the door of reality and offers an elsewhere', I recommend this title..
Beautifully written. Fans of Abdurraqib and basketball will enjoy the book..
