The sequel to the critically acclaimed memoir, Longshot, Lance Allred returns where his story left off, sharing his stories and experiences in the NBA as well as dealing with a major publisher for his first book, as life continues to take him around the world through the game of basketball, challenging his dreams and reality at every turn. Much to his disillusionment, he discovers that reality seldom lives up to our fantasies, especially in these hard financial that has been felt by everyone, even professional athletes.
Basketball Gods is a book about acceptance, about picking up the pieces as you go along, while providing insight into the supposedly glamorous world of professional sports. It is a story about basketball. And a story about spirituality, as well as forgiveness and acceptance. Most importantly, it is a story about life.
Born and raised in a polygamist commune, Lance Allred was the first the legally deaf player to play in the NBA when he was signed by the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2008. He recounts that journey in his critically acclaimed first book LONGSHOT, with the sequel, Basketball Gods, picking up during his time in the NBA.
