Hoops Dreamer: The Ken Mink Story

This is the story of a young Eastern Kentucky boy who achieved his dream of becoming a college basketball player, only to see his dream unfairly snatched away from him. But 53 years later he managed to revive his dream and return to the college basketball court at age 73, becoming the oldest college basketball player in history. This book tells the incredible route he followed – including several medical setbacks that threatened to squash his dream – and the impact his feat had on millions of people.
