Publisher's Synopsis

Star basketball player Anthony Odunsi is faced with the biggest "wake up" call of his life. Should he stay in the game that he loved since the age of 11 and live out his dreams as a professional basketball player? Or should he venture out and pursue a life and career outside the world of basketball? This story is an uncanny approach to the sports life through the eyes of a young Nigerian basketball player that shattered cultural and racial limitations, but not without controversy. Under the constant scrutiny of being a student-athlete, he makes mistakes along the way that ultimately influence his decision to attend 4 different colleges in 4 years.


This transparent life story keeps you on the edge of your seat, giving you a raw look into the competitive sport with an insider's view, as Anthony deals with adversity, depression, and thoughts of suicide. It's a competitive world, where few make it to the top.


The Wake Up Call, Exposing the Truth About Basketball, is the story that gives you a behind the scenes look at the relentless world of sports.
