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. In The Last Shot, Darcy Frey chronicles the
aspirations of four of the neighborhood's most promising players.
What they have going for them is athletic talent, grace, and years
of dedication. But working against them are woefully inadequate
schooling, family circumstances that are often desperate, and the
slick, brutal world of college athletic recruitment. 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. The result is a
startling and poignant expose of inner-city life and the big
business of college basketball.
