“A heart-warming story of boys who became men, teammates who became brothers, players who became champions, wonderfully told through the maturing eyes of basketball’s greatest star.” —John Grisham “Reading about LeBron James’ transition from boyhood to manhood was a thrill for me. Shooting Stars is a remarkable and riveting story, with lessons we can all learn from.” —Warren Buffett “Our sense of modern athletes is often limited to what highlight reels and marketing campaigns reveal or obscure. Shooting Stars is the compelling and often poignant story of a remarkable group of young men only one of whom happens to be a future NBA superstar. In the end we care about them all, even as we come away with a truer understanding and appreciation of the circumstances and relationships that forged one of the most significant sports figures of our time.” —Bob Costas
