12 de los mejores americanos de la historia del CB Peñas de Huesca

Libros: HEAVEN IS A PLAYGROUND, de Rick Telander

Contenido:

The story of sportswriter Rick Telander's summer spent among the inner-city basketball players of Brooklyn. Heaven Is a Playground was the first book on the uniquely American phenomenon of urban basketball. Rick Telander, a young photojournalist and former high school basketball player, spent part of the summer of 1973 and all of the summer of 1974 in Brooklyn living the playground life with his subjects at Foster Park in Flatbush. He slept on the floor of a park regular's apartment, observing, questioning, travelling and playing with, and eventually coaching a ragtag group of local teenagers whose hopes of better lives were often fanatically attached to the transcendent game itself. At times little separates the author and his subjects, both of whom are emotionally linked by their passion for hoops. But as the summer unfolds and even superstars such as the legendary and incendiary Fly Williams are confronted with the realities of ghetto life and the sociological hurdles facing African American males, the joy of the game starts to be seen as the wispy pipe dream it often becomes.

Zack Atkinson, de California Irvine, viene a Huesca

NetScouts Basketball
Zack Atkinson’s athletic ability sets him apart in a class of 6’9” forwards. He is an incredible and explosive vertical jumper, excellent shot blocker and aggressive rebounder. Atkinson is extremely active around the basket and runs the floor very well for a player of his size, especially on the wing. He is a true “high flying” individual whom is extremely coachable and humble. Needs to improve his 15 foot jump shot and a few post move mechanics. He can be a very strong impact player overseas if given the opportunity to do so.
