Perfect book for young fans

I got this to listen to with my friend's son, who’s just getting into basketball while he stayed with us. He loved it! He enjoyed learning the players' stories. I loved that it included a chapter on women who changed the game. The trivia and activities kept him engaged, and we had many conversations about the game. It’s a brilliant way to introduce kids to basketball in a fun and inspiring way. If you know a young sports fan, this is a fantastic gift to fuel their interest!
