La parabola della pallacanestro americana secondo uno dei giornalisti piu irriverenti e rispettati del mondo sportivo. Una riflessione su come il basket americano abbia scelto, per convenienza, marketing e denaro, una strada legata quasi esclusivamente alla potenza e allatletismo a discapito di gioco di squadra, tecnica, creativita. Un amore, quello di Sergio, per lNBA a un certo punto tradito da altre logiche, da dinamiche di spettacolo, lontane da quello che lui considera pallacanestro.
