This Was Always About Basketball

In the thrilling finale to the bestselling basketball trilogy, teen hoops star Zeke Archer is ready to fulfill a lifelong dream: running point for the best college basketball team in the country! But on what should be the best day of his life, things take a horrible turn. Zeke's truck has been completely dismantled, leaving him with no way to drive to a university 1,600 miles away. His on-again, off-again girlfriend has written him a letter that can only be heart-crushing. And Zeke's father is in critical condition, hanging on by thread in the VA hospital . . .

But to make matters absolutely worse, Zeke's nemesis and archrival Brock Decker is suddenly rich and famous-and appears responsible for a most insidious plan to alter the future of basketball's history. With barely any time to fix things, Zeke, together with his best friend Lawrence, will somehow have to break interdimensional barriers of time and space to return to the very spot where the game he loves was invented, all in an attempt to undo everything. But if the clock runs out, Zeke Archer and everything he loves will be gone!
