From two senior Sports Illustrated writers comes an explosive, fast-paced satire that will do for today''s NBA what North Dallas Forty did for the NFL a generation ago.

Just months from his Yale graduation, street-smart whiz kid Jamal Kelly leaves school to take a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to join the front office of the Los Angeles Lasers. Once on the West Coast, Jamal gets a quick introduction to a subculture awash in big egos and fast cars, as well as an introduction to the charms of the team''s new hard-charging beat writer, Jilly Forrester.

In the spirit of Primary Colors and The Devil Wears Prada, Foul Lines peels back the curtain on the trappings of big-time professional basketball. No other sport encapsulates so many cultural hot-button topics, and Foul Lines at once exposes and lampoons this parallel universe.

Industry Reviews

"In their hilarious novel on pro hoops, Jack and Jon have really thrown it down! Foul Lines is a funny and dead-on accurate take on the game I love. My only question: When's the Foul Lines movie coming out?" -- Bill Walton, Hall of Fame center and NBA commentator
