Sobre este artículo
New York, NY: Ballantine Books, 2010 Ballantine Books, New York. 2010. Hardcover. Stated First Edition/First Printing by line number. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Near Fine; light head and tail bumping. DJ: Fine; NOT Price clipped. White boards with white overlay on spine with bright gilt lettering on spine. 442 pp 8vo. The author offers an up-close and unforgettable look at the wildly dysfunctional, incredibly lucrative youth basketball machine that produces America's basketball stars. Centering around Demetrius Walker (age 14) and Joe Keller (AAU Coach) the author shows how coaches use the players to build their own business empire as the hope for the "next LeBron" to set them on the path to riches. A clean very presentable copy.
