Synopsis
In this candid and beautifully written memoir, New Zealand Tall Black John Saker tells of his lifetime love affair with basketball, how it changed his life, and the head-spinning moments when the sport became the talk of the nation. From his early teens, when shooting hoops was a way of dealing with family tragedy, through to his scholarship to an American university, career in France as New Zealand's first professional player, and selection to the New Zealand Tall Blacks, Saker canvasses both highs and lows of a sport where players such as New Zealand's Steven Adams today command multimillion dollar salaries.
