Description

Dream Shot: The Journey to a Wheelchair Basketball National Championship follows the story of the University of Illinois men's wheelchair basketball team as they strive for their sport's pinnacle. From 1948, when Tim Nugent established the Gizz Kids wheelchair squad, to the 2008 championship season, Josh Birnbaum captures the lives of players and coaches on and off the court through over 100 colour photographs. The book chronicles the team's journey, including the challenges they faced and the progress made in disability rights. Featuring a unique blend of photography and storytelling, Dream Shot provides an intimate look at the lives of those involved in the Illinois wheelchair basketball program.
