Playground in Usa
This is my brand new book (the eighth!!), PLAYGROUND IN USA, a road trip through a lot of basketball courts around the United States… New York, Jersey City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Orlando, San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles, San Diego, Las Vegas, a mad mix of average courts and scary courts, doesn’t matter for me, ugly and terrible baller but with spirit and attitude!! I also took all the pics of the book.

I’m sorry but the book is only in italian (the editor is “Libreria dello Sport”, one of the bigger editors in the Belpaese), but we’re looking to translate it in english…
Thank you bros,
Peace

bella Casey,
in Philly I went to Starr Garden, MacAlpine, Mill Creek, Washington Av. at S4th Street (I don’t remember the name of the court) and others….
great ball in Philly man, I do what I can on the court (Bob knows my “skills”… ahah), but the game is at the higher level.
peace

Dan’s books are “fresh air” to me, “Playground in USA” and “Playground in New York” ARE INSTANT CLASSICS for all the asphalt players.
“PLAYGROUND in USA” is a road trip,is a quest, is like those surfers looking for waves, but here we are looking for the heart of this game ! And this italian man has got no fear cause he really love this game !
Grande! vorrei ripetere il tuo viaggio come una volta si andava negli States con una copia di “On the road ” di Kerouac nello zaino.

This precious book, togheter with da “big bro” Playground in ny, is not only a sort of “rough guide” for streetball lovers; it is the diary of a proud italian heart that pulses passion for the Game. Grazie Daniele ‘cause, if i was just a tourist @ “The cage” in 2006, after reading those books, i’ ll look for some vibs on the court @ Tompkins square next month.
