About this listen

This program offers an immersive audio experience, fully sound designed to enhance your enjoyment. Listen out for the sounds of the court and the shouts from the crowd as you sit back and enjoy the incredible audiobook experience that is Basketball Dreams.

From NBA All-Star Chris Paul comes an inspirational and uplifting audiobook about chasing your basketball dreams and the lessons he learned both on and off the court from his beloved grandfather Papa Chilly.


Growing up, young Chris Paul dreamed of playing professional basketball. But he knew it would take more than dedication and practice, so Chris looked to his grandfather Papa Chilly as a shining example of the values he could apply both in basketball and in life. Papa taught him about respect, faith, kindness, generosity, and the determination to succeed, just as Papa had succeeded as the first Black business owner of a service station in North Carolina. Serving as a beacon of inspiration for Chris, Papa Chilly and his lessons propelled Chris to become the star NBA player—and person—he is today.

A Macmillan Audio production from Roaring Brook Press.

Critic reviews

"Lovett’s digital artwork is bold, energetic, and emotionally expressive. A combination of childhood memoir and tribute to a beloved relative, Paul’s simply expressed personal narrative comes across as a celebration without sentimentality. While young aspiring athletes will find inspiration and advice here, the simply expressed, fundamental values are applicable far beyond sports and can lead to success in any field." —<i>Booklist</i>
