Black Jesus: The Anthology - Federico Buffa - Tales from the sport

From the pen of a lawyer with a knack of journalism "as Federico Buffa, comes a collection of articles on the world of American basketball, much more than a sport on TV, in some cases a hope, a place of refuge, a strong element of aggregation for all the street children found in many American communities.

The book oozes basketball, reading some stories seemed to be there, in Harlem or Philadelphia, rather than in a few isolated college gym in the mountains or in a building, to smell the sweat on the ball imprinted into wedges, or the sharp sound of sneakers crawling on the floor.
There is a piece of American basketball history told from the inside, with interviews and extensive research, with long or short visits to follow in the footsteps of the legends that have been, and those that have never been.

The main virtue of using an author's prose is flowing, the query particular, can describe in an original and deeply the subject of the narrative, often causing a laugh, but also able to move and move .

Stories of the samples which lost through the maze of drug companies and a ghettoized and sick, never made it "upstairs" in the NBA, not the general public has ever known.
Buffa introduces us to the stories of legends from Playground as that of Earl "The Goat" Manigault, the man who wanted to sit on the iron , the story of Raymond Lewis, the largest that has ever existed, the ' man who made it rain.
reading these stories that I could not move me, stories that have now taken the connotation of Legends, not because they are not true, but because they have become almost sacred in the context in which they were conducted.

There are stories in the book of players who have made it from scratch, of coaches who have revolutionized basketball with their ideas, coaching in college or the NBA. Perhaps the objectivity of the journalist is often brushed aside in the book, but if the result is this, basically does not matter.
