Numbers are everywhere in basketball–from the dimensions of the court to the points you can score to the digits on each player’s jersey. In this awesome new book, you’ll learn how these numbers make basketball the game we know and love today, and also get a few tips along the way on how to improve your game.

Discover how to improve your bounce pass and chest pass with geometry and physics. Colorful graphics explain the math behind the sport, and cool photos make you feel like you’re right on the court. Filled with sports trivia and fun activities at the end of every chapter, this book is sure to be a slam dunk with kids who can’t get enough of the game and want to learn more.

Good book!
I bought this for my nephew who loves basketball, he’s 7. He likes it and thought he could learn about the stats and hopefully improve his game as he gets older.

Kids loved it
My boys 10 and 7 loved this book. They’re so big on sports and on stats. Forever looking at the stats of teams and players. It’s impressive but it’s hard to shop for. This book was perfect for them

I have a great nephew who’s about 13 who is very good at basketball and he’s in junior high now and I also have a great grandson. Who’s just starting his basketball and he’s in elementary school and they’re both good students in school and I thought that this would give them a lot of insight into the mathematics of it. I love this book. Each of them have their own book.

The book was a gift for my eight year old grandson; he is a “stats” kid and loved the book. The biggest surprise was that many of his older siblings were interested in the book as well!
