Bringing Back the Magic

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!

Basketball like never told before

I love basketball, more so watching as I am vertically challenged. I was scrolling through the new releases and came across this one and wanted to see what it was about. Im glad I did; this book is great. I learned more about basketball and its history than I thought I would. The book is well put together, and the stories are endearing.
