From superstar author Derrick Barnes, here is a middle-grade
celebration of the people and stories that helped shape the game of
basketball, from unsung pioneers to unforgettable moments of the
game. Capturing all the joy and energy that mark the sport of
basketball, bestselling and award-winning superstar author Derrick
Barnes shines a light on the amazing ballers, buzzer-beaters, and
record-breakers who haven't always gotten the attention they
deserve. Who Got Game? Basketball, the second book in his sports
series, following Who Got Game? Baseball, weaves together great
storytelling, lively illustrations, and a far-ranging selection of
facts, stats, sidebars, and quotes. Middle-grade readers will
discover the highest-scoring game in NCAA history. The influential
centre, George Mikan, who created the modern big man role, and 5'3"
Muggsy Bogues, the shortest player ever to star in the pros. The
pioneering Senda Berenson Abbott, creator of the women's game. The
legendary Rucker Park b-ball court in Harlem, New York. Plus the
first African American players and coaches, greatest comeback
victories and earth-shattering slam dunks, longest winning streaks,
and so much more. This book will hit you like a three-pointer from
half-court!
High-flying Ruby soars to new heights
After watching her big cousin Kee Kee compete in a cheerleading
competition, Ruby attempts to copy some of the high-flying moves
she saw earlier. This cheerleading stuff could be just the thing to
bring her a ton of attention. But during practice with Marcellus,
she injures her arm and must be rushed to the hospital. The doctors
fit her with a hot-pink cast that turns out to be a great
conversation piece. After giving a million different versions of
the accident to everyone at school, she becomes the center of
attention after all
Look out, Ro! Ruby's hosting a big pink slumber party!
