The Last Shot: City Streets, Basketball Dreams Frey DarcyPaperback
It ought to be just a game, but basketball on the playgrounds of Coney Island is much more than that -- for many young men it represents their only hope of escape from a life of crime, poverty, and despair. What they have going for them is athletic talent, grace, and years of dedication. In The Last Shot, Darcy Frey chronicles the aspirations of four of the neighborhood's most promising players.
Incisively and compassionately written, The Last Shot introduces us to unforgettable characters and takes us into their world with an intimacy seldom seen in contemporary journalism. But working against them are woefully inadequate schooling, family circumstances that are often desperate, and the slick, brutal world of college athletic recruitment. The result is a startling and poignant expose of inner-city life and the big business of college basketball.
