There's always this year : on basketball and ascension

Abdurraqib, Hanif, 1983- author

Overview

\"While Hanif Abdurraqib is an acclaimed author, a gifted poet, and one of our culture's most insightful music critics, he is most of all, at heart, an Ohioan. Growing up in Columbus in the '90s, Abdurraqib witnessed a golden era of basketball, one in which legends like LeBron were forged, and countless others weren't. His lifelong love of the game leads Abdurraqib into a lyrical, historical, and emotionally rich exploration of what it means to make it, who we think deserves success, the tensions between excellence and expectation, and the very notion of role-models, all of which he expertly weaves together with memoir: \"Here is where I would like to tell you about the form on my father's jumpshot,\" Abdurraqib writes. \"The truth, though, is that I saw my father shoot a basketball only one time.\"\"-- Provided by publisher.
