Chronicling and critiquing the passion African American males have
with the NBA, this thoughtful dialogue challenges athletes,
parents, educators, the media, and the larger society to examine
the obsession with basketball. With 91 percent of NBA players being
African American and only two percent of African American community
becoming doctors, dentists, and engineers, a solution for the
future is desperately needed, and this book tries to answer some of
the tough questions posed by these alarming figures. Among the
questions addressed is "What happens to all the athletes who are
unable to go into the NBA?" and "Has this obsession with basketball
robbed the African American community of talent needed in other
professions?" These questions are accompanied by an examination of
the attitudes and perceptions of the black sports culture.
