A true American tragedy, a post script - Rated The book is non-fiction, Corey, Stephon, Shipp are real life names, but the "Russel Simmons" (the book's central character) name was used by the author instead of Darryl Flicking (the real life Lincoln shooting guard). Flicking's mother refused to give the author permission to use her son's name (this was a money - NCAA rules issue just like Marbury's father's blackmail request of the author). Flicking was truly a great high school ball player, not just skill wise, but athletically he was a rockhard 200lb 6'3" man-child. Last year, after great success as a college player in California, Flicking was run over and killed by a train. Flicking's shot at immortality was ruined, only people who watched him play for Lincoln and in that small California college will ever know how great he was. RIP Darryl Flicking It is an inspiring book - Rated When I picked up the book from the library I had no idea it had to do with 4 local athletes from my neighborhood of Coney Island. I don't live in the projects of Coney Island, however ( I live in the C.I. houses ), but I related to the athletes. This book made me understand the attitudes of really young ghetto superstars and the pressures they must deal with. I skiped some pages though, because I was only concerned with the basketball. I'd of given this book only 4 stars if it's setting wasn't in my C.I. city. couldn't put this book down... - Rated Once you get into this book, you won't want to stop reading it. The portrait of an 8th grade Stephon Marbury was something to see. great book - Rated I loved this book, you must take a look, I couldn't put it down, it never made me frown, even better than "heaven is a playground"! -peace the truth about basketball dreams - Rated I have always dreamed of playing basketball in the NBA. However, millions of other kids around the world also have this dream. After reading "The Last Shot" in the 7th grade, I realized the importance of having a second plan. After tearing up my knee in the 8th grade, I have come to accept the fact that my dream will probably never come true. This book inspired me to work harder at school, resulting in staight A's my freshman year of high school. I still love basketball and continue to improve myself, but it can only take you so far.
