Shooting+Stars

Ryan Henderson

The book Shooting Stars by Lebron James and Buzz Bissinger goes far beyond what most people know about Lebron James. It goes into the heart of the small town of Akron Ohio. Lebron describes Akron as “a place you could put your arms around, a place that would put its arms around you.” It goes into the friendship and Bond of a team of basketball playe. Sure all of these young men were naturally gifted athletes but they had to work for everything they had. This book is a great book due to the fact that sure basketball is the main plot but there are many other side stories that run along with it. In this book you get to watch the development of four young men not only as players but also as individuals.
