Description

Kofi 'KO' Douglas knows how to handle pressure. After all, he is the newly announced #1 ranked AAU player in the country. On the court, his game is as good as it gets--even if his Wolves team lost to the Sabres in the national championship, KO always believes nobody can beat him one-on-one. That is, until his former best friend Ripp returns home, just in time for the biggest tournament of the summer, the McNabby. Ripp's dad plays professional basketball overseas, and Ripp has been tearing up courts there. ... As KO gears up for this latest challenge, there's game-changing news at home: KO's dad, who has been incarcerated for the last seven years, is getting out.
