In Bhutan the King has his own hoops tutor- and basketball helped ward off war. In Florida a three-on-three tournament draws the best schoolyard players in America. From China to New York and beyond, the quaint little sport that James Naismith invented in 1981 has leapt over boundaries and swept across language barriers around the globe. To capture this amazing phenomenon, Alexander Wolff traveled the world and chronicled the personalities, histories, tradgedies, and comedies spinning around the sport of basketball- and shows how ferocity, power, and grace appeal to the human passions in everyone.
