I absolutely love this story. All the characters are extremely fleshed out, and the story is written really well. The theme of teamwork is threaded perfectly. The character development is insane. The last reason is a bit more personal and that's that I really connect with the character because I'm mixed, black and Latino, and have went through some of the things that they have gone through.

Thanks for the review AlienTurkey. I really wanted to write a sports story that captured the feelings of what it's like to really be on the team. I read a ton of sports novels and they mostly focused on the mc and how amazing he could get and I felt like they were missing such a huge part of sports which was the team dynamic. I'm glad that you can connect with the characters so well. I tried my best to base everything off of my own experiences as well as the experiences of my friends so that they would come across as authentic. Thanks again for reading and supporting the story :)

Post 75+ chapter binge review. First, I don't think I've made as many intra chapter comments for one story as I have today. I've been thinking about this and I think that's a reflection of my engagement with a story. And some of these elements which elicit commentary include humor, interesting plot points, and relatable characters. Which is to say that although yes, this is a sports-themed novel with some pretty standard elements (physical/skills growth, tournaments, etc.), and less than perfect editing notwithstanding, this story really has a way of drawing you in as a reader and engaging you. This is self-published work and the author doesn't appear to be a professional. But he has taken one important storytelling tip to heart and that is "Write about what you know". It's so obvious that the author not only has a very passionate and knowledgeable perspective on basketball, but it is clear that many things he is able to write about comes from personal experience. But at the end of the day all of it just comes together with good storytelling - there are interesting characters, moments of levity balanced against thoughtfulness, adequate ******* and release, and a pretty good pace to story development. Either way, I'm engaged and looking forward to following this story for a long time. Mad respect to the author for his efforts.

10/10 sports novel, well balanced system in realistic terms, characters are well potrayed MC is blunt and to the point with high IQ and low EQ female love interest is good and it doesn’t affect the story and his obsession for improving at Basketball, system gives rewards and demerits, and social life is well thought out and makes for a comfortable read, the conversations flow. P.S. cant wait for 700+ chapters like Hitting Zone so I can compare and contrast but currently even with only 200 chapters so far I think this was more enjoyable to read

I have gotten so used to sports originals on this site having poor grammar and poor story telling (with a few exceptions) so when i found this story i was truly surprised. Its a bit early to be writing a review, and i would normally wait around 50 chapters before i share my opinions. But i want more people finding this gem cause it really show the quality original basketball stories should be aiming for.

Hello everybody! I am the author. That kind of sounds weird to say. It also feels weird to rate my own story. I hope that giving myself five stars doesn't seem arrogant. Anyways I just want to say thank you for taking the time to read my story. I try to update as quickly as I can but I am currently studying and working so time isn't something I have the most of. If there is anything you guys feel like I can improve please let me know. Or if there is anything you want to say please post. I love hearing from you guys. I hope that I can write and entertaining and meaningful story, thank you for your support :)

This is a fairly well written story, except the girl who is probably going to become the female lead is very annoying and it would be better to make her have less interactions with the Mc. Not all stories need romance in them.

When I'm reading other novels, I look at the number of pages (on my cellphone) and think "damn, there are still 20 pages".. then I read this novel. I can read 50 pages, but I won't feel exhausted reading it. It's just too damn good.

Not what I was looking for. Let's start with the good things - grammar is pretty good, updates are frequent, most of the characters are believable. Unfortunately, I can't read a story where an MC should be a 32 yo man, but behaves according to his new age of 12. Literally nothing of his behavior suits his alleged mental age. And when I see a teenager protagonist I drop the story on the spot, no exceptions. The story also has a dense teenager romance going on, which is always a turn off. Oh, and the system has mandatory quests with punishments for failing aka the worst kind of system. But system stuff is not a focus of the novel and generally only used to show people's stats, so that part is bearable.

Some exist with pride, others struggle with pride, some compete with pride, and there are those who fail with pride, but very few can walk away with pride. Congratulations, for as you read these lines, you have witnessed the whole lives of many great basketball players. This pronunciation was embodied when Stephen Curry, after facing defeat in 2021, claimed that no one would want to face them the following season; When Tim Duncan was convinced before the start of the 2014 Finals that they would not mess up; When Kobe Bryant promised at Old Buss's memorial to take the Lakers to the playoffs; When Nowitzki, shedding his label as a soft player, retreated to the locker room in tears at night; When Kevin Garnett let out a skyward howl after holding the championship trophy; When the 2004 Detroit Pistons won and the F4 Lakers lost… Our story begins in an era when pride still mattered.

Project Mbappe

Jeremiah Hayes was a football prodigy, debuting for Manchester United at fifteen and becoming their youngest goalscorer. By twenty-four, he was a household name. But one reckless tackle ended everything, leaving him with a shattered knee and a career cut short. Years later, hope was reborn in his son, Jerry. At fifteen, Jerry was everything Jeremiah had been—quick, sharp, and destined for greatness... unfortunately just not as good. Playing for a grassroots academy, Jerry Jr was about to compete in a local tournament, his first real chance to prove himself, and just before it started, he heard a sound that would forever change his life... a single bell chime.
