The Last Shot
by Darcy Frey
Follows Russel Thomas, Stephon Marbury, Tchika Shipp and Corey Johnson and their basketball careers at Coney Island's infamous Lincoln High. Very quick read, but a fascinating insight into what it takes to make it to the top of the basketball world, with stark criticism of the hypocrisy at all levels of the sporting and academic institutions involved. If you've seen the excellent Hoop Dreams documentary, there's nothing particularly new here, but if you're a hoops fanatic like me, then its a great read. 7/10
