Broken Dreams isn't just a book about basketball, It tells the stories of young talented players blessed by the basketball gods with immense gifts whose missteps and poor choices derailed what could have been a long, lucrative and accomplished NBA career.
The book provides portraits of the players hopes and aspirations, their home lives, and the difficulties they face in living - namely, the temptations of drugs and alcohol.
They had gone through a downward spiral brought on by drugs, alcohol and self-doubt.
Their stories, and the double-edged sword of hoop dreams, is at the heart of these compelling stories about young talented players struggle to find their way in an often grim world.
