Just Another Game

Curly Boo Johnson, Harlem Globetrotters
This book is not about those who graduated and those who made it, it is about those who didnt. It is not about whose fault it is but what we can do to change it.

Book Description
All-American Bill Bradley Stephenson is about to take Bradley University to its first Final Four in almost 50 years. The only things that stand in his way are: Uncontrollable Assassins, Unjust drug laws, Undercover Agents, an Undecided Conscience, and a Free Throw.

From the Author
I played the game at Bradley University in the early 70's. My after practice talks with Bradley Universitys Head of Security Mr. Johnson gave birth to the concepts of the book. All of the characters are real. They and their stories have all had an impact on my life. They simply did not all come together in the order nor the time frame I presented in just another game.

From Chapter 2: I can't remember learning to walk. I can't remember learning to talk. And I can't remember learning to shoot free throws.

Bill plans to boycott the NCAA Finals to protest the lack of concern for college athletes that spend four years performing for the school but once eligibity is gone, so are they... But as he ponders his choices, the decision is no longer his to make. Others have now come forward. Some to influence his decision, others to make his decision for him. His teammates, his opponents, his family, his coaches, old friends, new friends, the MOB, the BATF, and the FBI all feel that they have something to say about the outcome.
