I like the short story format. It was able to engage my son for a good chunk of time. He likes basketball but not reading so much. This audiobook format opens up a whole to world for us. Now, he can use this audiobook for his project about basketball for school. Thanks for putting out this book. He expressed that he learned something new about the history of basketball after listening to just one chapter. This gave him the momentum to keep listening.

This audiobook of short stories about basketball really brought back memories for me! I couldn’t help but think of the time I saw Magic Johnson play in Orlando with my dad and sister while we were on vacation. Seeing him in action was just incredible; his skill and energy on the court were unforgettable. The stories in this audiobook capture that same excitement and passion for the game, and I loved how it made me reminisce about such an amazing experience!
