"In this vivid depiction of the urban reality of grassroots basketball, Scott Brooks exhibits an insider's passion for the game, broad and deep knowledge of the local history, and a real feel for the significance of basketball in Philly's black community. Along with offering important ideas about the relationship between race and sports, Black Men Can't Shoot is packed with genuine drama and intrigue, making it one of those rare books that are both insightful and truly engaging." - Douglas Hartmann, author of Race, Culture, and the Revolt of the Black Athlete: The 1968 Olympic Protests and Their Aftermath" Item Details
