<br/><br/> "From dribbling and three-pointers to free throws and slam dunks, basketball is not only a game of athletic strength and skill, but also one of science and energy, angles and math, and high-tech engineering. In STEM in Basketball readers explore the science behind their favorite player's best moves on the court and learn about technology that is changing the game. Why do backboards shatter? What is the best angle for a jump shot? What makes that basketball so "smart"? The answer is STEM, of course."--from back cover.
