註釋
From two senior
Sports Illustrated
writers comes an explosive, fast-paced satire that will do for today's NBA what
North Dallas Forty
did for the NFL a generation ago.
Just months from his Yale graduation, street-smart whiz kid Jamal Kelly leaves school to take a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to join the front office of the Los Angeles Lasers. Once on the West Coast, Jamal gets a quick introduction to a subculture awash in big egos and fast cars, as well as an introduction to the charms of the team's new hard-charging beat writer, Jilly Forrester.
In the spirit of
Primary Colors
and
The Devil Wears Prada, Foul Lines
peels back the curtain on the trappings of big-time professional basketball. No other sport encapsulates so many cultural hot-button topics, and
Foul Lines
at once exposes and lampoons this parallel universe.
