Mr. DeLucia's characters are rich and relatable, in a story where sports is an analogy for life."Mike DeLucia keeps the characters engaging, and the action moving. He manages to capture the energy and excitement of a championship face-off, and put it on the page. This is a well-done "sports" novel."The majority of searches say Michael Jordan is the best basketball player of all time, but many others oppose this. While Jordan's rank is debatable, a respectable dream team would include Kevin Durant, Bill Russell, Hakeem Olajuwon, Dr. J, Tim Duncan, Jerry West, Kobe Bryant, Wilt Chamberlain, Larry Bird, Shaquille O'Neal, LeBron James, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Stephen Curry, Michael Jordan, and Hank Luisetti.Chances are, you've never heard of Hank Luisetti.
