101 lesser-known basketball stories and trivia to delight fans.

Author provocateur Dalton Higgins provides 101 reasons why basketball is the best unscripted drama — next to The Real Housewives reality TV franchise — and has captured the imagination of sports enthusiasts around the world. From the bold to the bizarre, Higgins unpacks the myths and realities behind the second most popular sport in the world with precision, breaking down all kinds of wildly interesting and obscure basketball facts tied to height, gender, geography, race, economics, and everything in between.

From sneakers to salacious tidbits, Higgins offers takes on age-old issues and debates:

Can white men jump now?
Have three-pointers become the new layup?
Should traditional ten-foot rims be raised?
Who is the G.O.A.T?
Do “free” throws carry a cost?
Is the WNBA the next big thing?
Are hip hop and hoops kissing cousins?

Dalton Higgins is a publicist, journalist, and author who has interviewed many NBA legends, covered the Toronto Raptors, and reported on NBA All-Star games, including Michael Jordan’s last one in Atlanta. Higgins has worked with the NBA’s Read to Achieve program and managed PR campaigns for TV series including Anyone’s Game about the Orangeville Prep high school basketball program that produced NBA champion Jamal Murray. He lives in Toronto.
