Wish I Was a Baller -- Amar Shah, Paperback
Amar Shah has some story to tell! In 1995, he was a fourteen-year-old aspiring sports journalist (and basketball superfan) angling to get into an Orlando Magic team practice. He did, and it took him on the ride of his life!
Wish I Was a Baller is a graphic memoir chronicling Amar's real-life experiences as a fourteen-year-old sports journalist covering the golden era of the NBA, when he befriended Shaq and hung out with Michael Jordan and the Bulls--all while surviving the high school, dealing with crushes, and friendships being tainted by jealousy.
"An inspiring story of friendship, family, and the swishes and misses of being a kid. Baller soars and scores!" -- Jerry Craft, author of the Newbery Award-winning New Kid
