ESPN’s Tim MacMahon examines the pressure of building around a prodigy in the NBA, through the prism of the Dallas Mavericks’ Luka Doncic. THE WONDER BOY chronicles Doncic’s journey from the most hyped European teen prospect in basketball history to a generational NBA star—and all the madness that ensues as the Mavericks attempt to avoid blowing the golden opportunity of having a young perennial MVP candidate as the franchise centerpiece. The book digs behind the scenes of the drama and dysfunction in Dallas during the early years of Doncic’s career.

A 45-year-old Black man. A 24-year-old white man. Both writers. One a teacher; the other his student.

After each session they were moved to exchange letters about basketball and so much more.

DeMar DeRozan, six-time NBA All-Star, has been called a “basketball savant” (ESPN) and “the best closer in the NBA” (GQ)—but when he went public with his depression, it sparked a conversation that reached far beyond the court. By breaking the stigma of speaking out, he added a new, seldom-heard voice to the mental health dialogue: a successful Black male athlete, openly naming his pain and advocating for others to do the same.

In Above the Noise, DeRozan opens up about both his proudest triumphs and the times he felt so weighed down he couldn’t get out of bed. He reflects on what it took to make a name for himself in a new country after getting drafted by the Toronto Raptors. He recounts the pressure of playing with veteran athletes as a twenty-year-old rookie, and the pain of losing role models. And he reveals what it felt like to be traded away from the team that he wanted to play with for the rest of his career.

With poignant intimacy, Darcy Frey chronicles the aspirations of these young men, including the future superstar Stephon Marbury, who are among the most promising players in Coney Island.
