  <default_description>&lt;p&gt;Aldridge James (AJ) Richardson is living the good life. He has a gorgeous town house in always-flavorful New Orleans, plenty of frequent-flier miles from jet-setting around the country on a whim, and an MBA&amp;#8212;but he&amp;#8217;s never had to work a regular job. He owes it all to his longtime lover, Dray Jones. Dray Jones the rich and famous NBA star. They fell in love in college when AJ was hired to tutor Dray, a freshman on the basketball team. But Dray knew if he wanted to make it to the big time, he must juggle his public image and his private desires. Built on a deep, abiding love, their hidden relationship sustains them both, but when Dray&amp;#8217;s teammates begin to ask insinuating questions about AJ, Dray puts their doubts to rest by marrying Judy, a beautiful and ambitious woman. Judy knows nothing about Dray&amp;#8217;s &amp;#8220;other life.&amp;#8221; Or does she?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In BASKETBALL JONES, E. Lynn Harris explores the consequences of loving someone who is forced to conform to the rules society demands its public heroes follow. Filled with nonstop twists and turns, it will keep readers riveted from the first page to the last.&lt;/p&gt;</default_description>

The drama wasn't all that exciting since there were too few characters to really maintain a mystery and the sex wasn't particularly hot, but it fine light reading. I hadn't read any other E.

    <body><![CDATA[Was able to read this book in about 3 days.  The main character in the book lived a depressing life.   I always wonder when I read Harris' books how closely the characters are based on people he knows.  The issues and experiences seem too real to be fiction.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Normally E. Lynn Harris has great characters and a plot that engages, but he missed on this one.  I didn't really like any of the characters and the plot was far too predictable.  I'm glad I got it from the library and didn't invest in a personal copy.]]></body>
