The Dusty Jumper

This book is a collection of personal essays and reflections on the game of basketball fandom and identity. From childhood memories of growing up with the Boston Celtics to playing the sport as a means of coping with adolescence this is about basketball as a means of connection. Whether playing watching reading writing or cheering from the stands the game has me firmly in its grasp. This book is my way of appreciating the game and how it has connected me to others.
