Book Description
Josh Cameron has it all: a World Championship ring with the Boston Celtics, an MVP award, a clean-cut image, and the adoration of millions. What he doesn’t have is family. Until the day 12-year-old smartaleck Molly Parker confronts him in a parking lot and claims to be his daughter—the only daughter of Jen Parker, Josh’s college sweetheart and the still the only girl he’s ever loved. Trouble is, Jen Parker died last year, and now Molly has tracked down the father she never knew, the one her mother never wanted her to know about. Josh Cameron cares about two things only: himself, and basketball. The last thing this superstar wants or needs is a 12-year-old daughter. Yet this isn’t just any 12-year-old. Mr. World Champion has finally met his match

Man, you are a badass detective.
 
Hmmm, how about a book about an NFL player... a real superstar..... and he becomes friends with a less heralded teammate, really tight friends. And then that teammate gets a horrible disease and dies. And the guy learns some lessons from it. Because he misses his friend.

One guy can be white and the other black.

You have got to be kidding me. That's what the book is about?

Gives me all the more reason to side with Whitlock about Loopy. Not only is he a pentulant little brat, but a "story ripper" as well.

story ripper = ripping out the headlines or stories we've already heard and read about.
