I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the entire book as I could listen for pleasure and draw out life lessons to incorporate in my life and share with my daughters. I have been involved in sport at many levels all my life and have learned so much about dreaming big, setting and reaching goals and I can't forget, working hard. As a result of listening to this book, I am going to be a star at trivia pursuit if there are any basketball questions. Great Book.

I really loved this audiobook—it was such a fun listen packed with awesome basketball stories, especially from some of my favorite players. It was entertaining and sparked some great conversations with my friends afterward. What made it even more special for me was hearing about an Ontario basketball player—being from Ontario myself, that representation felt really cool and personal. If you're into the game or just enjoy behind-the-scenes stories from athletes, this one's a win!

This audiobook was such a fun and inspiring listen—not just for young basketball fans, but for any kid who loves a good story with heart. Epic Basketball Stories goes beyond the court, weaving in powerful life lessons about hard work, resilience, teamwork, and perseverance through the journeys of real-life basketball legends.

What really stood out to me is how the book manages to keep things exciting while also being incredibly meaningful. Each chapter feels like a mini adventure, filled with cool facts, relatable struggles, and uplifting wins. You can tell the goal isn’t just to entertain—it’s to teach and empower young readers to believe in themselves.
My nephew and I especially loved the fun activities at the end of each section—it made the lessons stick and gave us something to talk about afterward.

Whether you're raising a future athlete or just want a motivating audiobook for your child, this one’s a win. It sparks curiosity, builds character, and shows that greatness comes from heart, not just talent.
