Table of ContentsReviewsScott was an average high school basketball player, but Black Men Can't Shoot is an all-star book. I couldn't put it down. It cracked me up, put me on edge, and reminded me why I love this game-Chuck, Jermaine, and Ray, the old heads and the young bulls. It's about the people. (Jason Kidd, ten-time NBA All-Star) A very entertaining, in depth look at the high school basketball scene in the Philadelphia area. . . . Basketball allows these kids to dream--it allows them to consider that they might have a future other than hanging out on the street corner. Consider it documentation of the transformative effects of hoops. --Jeff Fox Hoops Manifesto Author InformationScott N. Brooks is assistant professor of sociology at the University of California, Riverside. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
