About the book: With millions of dollars flowing through his bank account and basking in the adoration of thousands of fans, a young NBA recruit must find his way through the dark side of fame and fortune before it all ends on the wrong side of the court. The NBA player, a baller in every sense of the word, is in such a dark place, that his story is told through the words of the friend who knew him from his humble beginnings, to the great heights of his fame and back down the slippery slope of drugs, promiscuity and financial ruin. Gerry Lancaster recounts the experiences of close friend and fellow Baller, Vin, who wasn't equipped to handle the pot of gold his talents had earned him.
