Dragon Hoops by 
An introverted reader starts understanding local enthusiasm about sports in his school when he gets to know some of his talented athletic peers and discovers that their stories are just as thrilling as the comics he loves.
"Combining visual flair, like speeding backgrounds, with nearly diagrammatic movement, he creates pulse-pounding game sequences. ... [Yang] illuminates the risks that every one of us must take and has, once again, produced a work of resounding humanity."
