Wish I Was a Baller | Amar Shah
1 post | 1 read
Wish I Was a Baller is part New Kid, part The Tryout, and part Dragon Hoops! Amar Shah has some story to tell! In 1995, he was a fourteen-year-old aspiring sports journalist (and basketball superfan) angling to get into an Orlando Magic team practice. He did, and it took him on the ride of his life! Wish I Was a Baller is a graphic memoir chronicling Amar's real-life experiences as a fourteen-year-old sports journalist covering the golden era of the NBA, when he befriended Shaq and hung out with Michael Jordan and the Bulls-all while surviving the high school caste system, dealing with crushes, and friendships being tainted by jealousy.

Man, it would never have occurred to me as a kid (or honestly, as an adult) to even try to do the things Amar Shah walked into already confident. I have a lot of respect for anyone who can pull that off. His childhood experiences interacting with the amazing basketball players of the 90s is nostalgic and fun for me!
