Snowden Junior High loved its basketball team, the Polar Bears.  But the team had very few wins, low morale, and defeatist attitudes.

​

Then, just before tryouts began for the new year, a motley looking group showed up at the coach's office.  They called themselves the "FAB FIVE" after the famous University of Michigan Fab Five team.

​

Basketball Adventures tells the fun and motivational story of how five wannabe basketball players learned how to overcome prejudice and low self-confidence to became the heroes of Snowden Junior High.

"Cheer Leaders" Respond

Derrick Obiri-Yeboah, Basketball Enthusiast

"I just finished reading the basketball adventures and I loved every bit of it.  Pure fun and inspirational.  Paul Swets provides a "novel" way of coexisting as people with a common goal regardless of our skin color. 

​

"The story was relatable and the tone was appropriate, I could envision myself as any of the fab five basketball players as Swets puts an actual voice to them.

​

"The greatest feat about the story is that at about the sixth chapter, the reader loses track of who's black and who's white.  The story becomes just about a group of young guys bound together by a common goal which is what was most powerful to me. It wasn't about their differences, it was about their shared goals and passions which is what I believe America needs to cultivate right now."
