This is every bit as good as all the reviews claim! I was so impressed with the way Abdurraqib eloquently described growing up in Columbus, Ohio (on the wrong side of town, he says) and how meaningful basketball was to him as a kid, and those in his circle. LeBron James features prominently as Abdurraqib came of age around the time of LeBron‘s ascent. More than a sports essay collection, this is about heartbreak, passion, and life itself.
