In the thrilling finale to the bestselling basketball trilogy, teen hoops star Zeke Archer is ready to fulfill a lifelong dream: running point for the best college basketball team in the country!

This Was Always About Basketball by Craig Leener is a wonderful story that follows the protagonist Ezekiel Archer, better known as ââ?¬Ë?Zeke,ââ?¬â?¢ as he prepares himself for his next big step in life at the University of Kansas. This is where he plans to take his basketball dreams to the next level. However, as he begins completing his extensive to-do list before he leaves, he encounters a few bumps along the way, such as history being completely altered. As this is not the first time an unusual happening has been in Zekeââ?¬â?¢s life, he knows exactly who to turn to, his autistic but brilliant mathematician friend Lawrence.
The whole concept behind this story is compelling, and the imagination used to combine science fiction with a diary written by Zeke is done well. Having the story written in the first person narrative and having him address the reader by introducing himself, ââ?¬Ë?My name is Ezekiel Archerââ?¬â?¢ from one of the first lines draws them in, making them feel included in the story. There are areas throughout where the details are rich and descriptive, such as ââ?¬Ë?Lawrenceââ?¬â?¢s handwritingââ?¬"rigid and purposeful letters carefully sketched and slanted in an easterly direction.ââ?¬â?¢ These moments allow readers to come to know the characters, it assists the reader in understanding them on a deeper level.
This Was Always About Basketball is an entertaining and enjoyable read. The chapters are short, but all relevant which helps with the plot flow, and you are always left wanting more. This is not the first book in this series that I have read, and I hope it will not be the last as through each adventure, you learn more about the characters and feel you are part of the story with them. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a fantasy story.
