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!

Bringing Back the Magic
This audiobook of short stories about basketball really brought back memories for me! I couldn’t help but think of the time I saw Magic Johnson play in Orlando with my dad and sister while we were on vacation. Seeing him in action was just incredible; his skill and energy on the court were unforgettable. The stories in this audiobook capture that same excitement and passion for the game, and I loved how it made me reminisce about such an amazing experience!
