On These Courts: A Miracle Season that Changed a City, a Once-Future Star, and a Team Forever by Wayne B. Drash, May 2013
On These Courts is the story of former NBA star Anfernee “Penny” Hardaway, who grew up in Memphis, TN, and returned to the city after retiring from professional basketball. A chance to coach a middle school basketball team in the area where he grew up kept him in the game, and inspired this book, out in May. A portion of the proceeds from On These Courts will go to Penny’s FastBreak Courts, one way Hardaway is giving back to Memphis.
