Short and Sweet
I like the short story format. It was able to engage my son for a good chunk of time. He likes basketball but not reading so much. This audiobook format opens up a whole to world for us. Now, he can use this audiobook for his project about basketball for school. Thanks for putting out this book. He expressed that he learned something new about the history of basketball after listening to just one chapter. This gave him the momentum to keep listening.

Love love love!
I grew up not only in a basketball family, but in a basketball town. I have been away from the sport for some time, and this book brought back so many great memories for me from the 80s and 90s following the sport with my Dad. I love how the book gets beyond the games and covers the human aspect of the stories and the people around the sport. Everybody loves a comeback, right? Those are my favorite stories from this book. The narration is smooth and easy to listen to in this book as well. Highly recommend!
