The real basketball deal–the inside story of Harlem’s legendary tournament and the pros and playground legends who have made it world famous. Earl “The Goat” Manigault. Herman “Helicopter” Knowings. Joe “The Destroyer” Hammond. Richard “Pee Wee” Kirkland. These and dozens of other colorfully nicknamed men are the “Asphalt Gods,” whose astounding exploits in the Rucker Tournament, often against multimillionaire NBA superstars, have made them playground divinity. First established in the 1950s by Holcombe Rucker, a New York City Parks Department employee, the tournament has grown to become a Harlem institution, an annual summer event of major proportions. On that fabled patch of concrete, unknown players have been lighting it up for decades as they express basketball as a freestyle art among their peers and against such pro immortals as Julius Erving and Wilt Chamberlain. X’s and O’s are exchanged for oohs and aahs in one of the great examples of street theater to be found in urban America. Asphalt Gods is a streetwise, supremely entertaining oral history of a tournament that has influenced everything from NBA playing style to hip-hop culture. Now, legends transmitted by word of mouth find a home and the achievements of basketball’s greatest unknowns a permanent place in the game’s record.

J-Rod moves like a small tank on the court, his face mean, staring down his opponents. "I play just like my father," he says. "Before my father died, he was a problem on the court. I'm a problem." Playing basketball for him fuses past and present, conjuring his father's memory into a force that opponents can feel in each bone-snapping drive to the basket. On the street, every ballplayer has a story. Onaje X. O. Woodbine, a former streetball player who became an all-star Ivy Leaguer, brings the sights and sounds, hopes and dreams of street basketball to life. He shows that big games have a trickster figure and a master of black talk whose commentary interprets the game for audiences. The beats of hip-hop and reggae make up the soundtrack, and the ballplayers are half-men, half-heroes, defying the ghetto's limitations with their flights to the basket. Basketball is popular among young black American men but not because, as many claim, they are "pushed by poverty" or "pulled" by white institutions to play it. Black men choose to participate in basketball because of the transcendent experience of the game. Through interviews with and observations of urban basketball players, Onaje X. O. Woodbine composes a rare portrait of a passionate, committed, and resilient group of athletes who use the court to mine what urban life cannot corrupt. If people turn to religion to reimagine their place in the world, then black streetball players are indeed the hierophants of the asphalt.

When police search seventeen year-old Sawyer Hayden's wallet after he steals and crashes a vintage motorcycle they find just three things:The fake I.D. his brother bought him, his real ID without a motorcycle endorsement and the empty condom wrapper he saved from his first night with Sarah.What police don't find is his list. A list of the three things Sawyer blames for turning his once promising athlete of a father into a trucker who's life went nowhere. A list that before tonight he never left home without. Before tonight Sawyer lived his life by that list, like a map he used to avoid the same path his father traveled. A map he used to find a road of own, a road he knew for a fact would pave the way to a college scholarship and a future in basketball. But that was before tonight. Because despite all Sawyer's careful planning his map sends him down a road toward an obstacle he never sees coming. An obstacle that slams him head on and reveals a fate worse than failure. Success. Now broken, bleeding and running out of time Sawyer is forced to make a new list. A simple list with only one strategy. Live long enough to fail.

New York has long been both America’s leading cultural center and its sports capital, with far more championship teams, intracity World Series, and major prizefights than any other city. Pro football’s “Greatest Game Ever Played” took place in New York, along with what was arguably history’s most significant boxing match, the 1938 title bout between Joe Louis and Max Schmeling. As the nation’s most crowded city, basketball proved to be an ideal sport, and for many years it was the site of the country’s most prestigious college basketball tournament. New York boasts storied stadiums, arenas, and gymnasiums and is the home of one of the world’s two leading marathons as well as the Belmont Stakes, the third event in horse racing’s Triple Crown. New York sportswriters also wield national influence and have done much to connect sports to larger social and cultural issues, and the vitality and distinctiveness of New York’s street games, its ethnic institutions, and its sports-centered restaurants and drinking establishments all contribute to the city’s uniqueness. New York Sports collects the work of fourteen leading sport historians, providing new insight into the social and cultural history of America’s major metropolis and of the United States. These writers address the topics of changing conceptions of manhood and violence, leisure and social class, urban night life and entertainment, women and athletics, ethnicity and assimilation, and more.

From USA Today Bestselling Author, Morgan Jane Mitchell comes the next installment in her Royal Bastards MC: Nashville, TN, Lovin Opry. I'm Leo, just nineteen. I ain't got nobody or nothin', except for the skin I'm in and the moves I make on the pole at the Royal Bastards MC clubhouse, Royal Road. My life's all about neon lights, body glitter, and dreams that spin 'round fast. But everything gets twisted when I start catchin' feelings for Opry, my boss - the tatted up, cowboy-hat-wearing biker twice my age. Me and Opry? We ain't your typical couple. It's a "situationship", like twerking to a steel guitar- seems all wrong but feels so right. A dom with a taste for a world of kink, the biker's as tough and tantalizing as an unsolved mystery. And boy, has he got commitment issues. Lovin’ Opry’s a tough ride, but this gal right here is all about the thrill. The catch? He doesn't vibe with me outside our shared bedroom. Our convos are like tryna blend country twang with a hip-hop beat. When he starts acting all distant, like he's losin' interest, I hit the road. I thought I could just peace out, leave the cowboy in my rearview. Thought I could ghost the biker who's little bark and all bite. I should have known better. Name's Opry. Got this young firecracker, Leo, lightin' up our stage, movin' like a wild storm under the club lights. The little filly gets under my skin, makes a home there, and just when I think I got a handle on things, it all goes to hell. I've been around, seen things that'd make most men quake, and it's hardened me. I've ridden with the reaper, stared down danger more times than I can count, but the depth of my feelings for Leo? Terrifying. She senses me pullin' away, and just like that, she's gone. Thought I could let her go, let her become a memory, drowned out by the rumble of this fast life. But once her laughter stops echoing through my clubhouse, I’m punched with a hurt worse than a busted rib - I miss the hell out of my little dancer. Come New Year's Eve, I know I gotta get her back. Don't matter what it takes, I gotta make it right, bring her back into my world, our world. Whether she likes it or not.
