   This is the first basketball novel I've ever read. To be honest, as a female reader, learning about the NBA and its history through this book was a novel experience. Overall, it's quite heartwarming, and the pacing is slow; it doesn't have that "start off with a stunning comeback, instantly dominating all predecessors" feel, but it's still quite enjoyable to read. If you like this slower pace and can stick with it, you might want to give it a try (of Tomato's basketball novels, my only other favorites are Lü Zhe and Gao De).
