A high school student whose promising basketball career is in jeopardy discovers the triumphs and hardships of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's life as a social justice advocate in this stunningly illustrated graphic novel. Monk Travers is the star basketball player on his high school team. Confident about his future as an NBA player¸ he doesn't see the point in caring much about school¸ let alone his community. But his world is about to change-big time! After getting caught graffitiing his team's rival school¸ Monk comes to the awful realization that his actions have put his place on the team-and his future-in jeopardy. Fearing the worst¸ he's taken by surprise when his coach offers him an unorthodox way to atone: completing a report on the life of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Monk is ecstatic. He knows all Kareem's records and stats. He smugly announces that the project will be a snap¸ but his excitement is short-lived when coach tells him that the project is not about Kareem's basketball career-it's about his life as an advocate for change. As Monk grudgingly begins his research¸ he discovers a history of struggles¸ conflicts¸ frustrations¸ and violence that he'd never been aware of¸ awakening a passion for social justice that rivals Kareem's own.
