Basketball Country
A Road Trip Story
by Matthew Duquette


Basketball Country takes basketball fans on a two-week road trip through the American basketball heartland, covering NBA and college games and hitting basketball museums, famous streetball courts, and historical landmarks along the way. Through Boston, Springfield, New York City, Philadelphia, North Carolina, Kentucky, Indiana, and finally Kansas, this trip is fast-paced, passionate, and insightful. Set in early 2020, Basketball Country chronicles some of the last games before the COVID-19 pandemic halted the world, as well as the heartbreaking death of Kobe Bryant. From the invention of basketball and background on famous players, to photographs of noteworthy moments and recommended books and movies, Basketball Country offers a deeper dive into the game. This book will enrich any fan’s passion for basketball.


Matthew Duquette is a basketball fan who has followed the game since early childhood. In early 2020, he embarked on a road trip through the US to experience basketball on a deeper level. Basketball Country is the record of this trip.
