Book Synopsis
Tells a coming-of-age story that counters the belief that basketball only exploits kids and lures them into following empty dreams - and shows us that by playing ball, some of these young black men have already begun their education even before they get to college.

Trade Review
"Scott was an average high school basketball player, but Black Men Can't Shoot is an all-star book. I couldn't put it down. It cracked me up, put me on edge, and reminded me why I love this game-Chuck, Jermaine, and Ray, the old heads and the young bulls. It's about the people." (Jason Kidd, ten-time NBA All-Star)"
