Nine all-stars in the field of YA lit contribute stories...an
anthology of standalone stories that invite - no, demand - a
straight read-through.
—Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review)
Tying all the stories together is a shared love and respect not
only for the game itself, but also for the lavishly talented (and
all-too-often fatally flawed) legends od New York City playground
basketball. An outstanding collection that belongs in every high

Superb stories by writers who know and love the game; and ode to
the show.
