About the book
Growing up in a bizarre cave-dwelling cult in Colorado, seven-foot, eight-inch Maurice \"Slo-Mo\" Finsternick knows nothing about the NBA--that is until the day he's discovered and becomes the hottest sports icon in the country.
This uproariously funny satire of pro sports is Rick Reilly at his very best. The bestselling author of the classic Missing Links has delivered again with this dead-on tale of \"Slo-Mo\" Finsternick, a genius player with a patented thirty-foot hook shot. Eventually, though, Slo-Mo begins to move away from his kind, truthful, polite, and self-effacing ways and gradually learns to behave like a famous athlete. Can the big man's innocence survive the charms of the big show?
