I really loved this audiobook—it was such a fun listen packed with awesome basketball stories, especially from some of my favorite players. It was entertaining and sparked some great conversations with my friends afterward. What made it even more special for me was hearing about an Ontario basketball player—being from Ontario myself, that representation felt really cool and personal.
