Soul of the Game: Images and Voices of Street Basketball

Soul of the Game is a tribute to streetball told through the images and voices of its legendary players. One hundred thirty powerful photographs by John Huet capture streetball legends like Earl "The Goat" Manigault, Pee Wee Kirkland, and Arkansas Red, and showcase the skills of today's newcomers on some of the most famous playground courts in America, from Rucker Park in NYC to Venice Beach.

"Soul of the Game" was named "one of 14 most beautiful books in the world"by the Copenhagen Museum.
