Former NBA All-Star Caron Butler and acclaimed author Justin A. Reynolds deliver another superstar performance in this companion novel to Shot Clock, a powerful middle grade sports novel about KO, a budding AAU basketball star as he attempts to find redemption on the court and reconnection with his incarcerated father.

Kofi ā€œKOā€ Douglas knows how to handle pressure. After all, he is the newly announced #1 ranked AAU player in the country. On the court, his game is as good as it getsā€”even if his Wolves team lost to the Sabres in the national championship, KO always believes nobody can beat him one-on-one in this riveting rivals story. That is, until his former best friend, Ripp, returns home, just in time for the biggest tournament of the summer, the McNabby.

Itā€™s been KO and his mom for as long as he can remember, only now his dad is ready to reconnect. Itā€™s another reunion KO isnā€™t sure he wants to happen, especially as Ripp keeps calling out KO to play him in the McNabby.

With the tournament on the horizon, KO decides to turn to Coach James and the Sabres for help. He may not love the idea of playing with Tony Washington and his former teammates again, but he needs them now more than ever. Can KO prove heā€™s still the best on the court as his family life turns upside down?
