Game Changers Author Matt Bowman Speaking
at Signature This Week!
Game Changers: AJ Dybantsa, BYU, and the Struggle for the Soul of Basketball is now available in hardcover, paperback, ebook and audiobook. Matthew Bowman, coauthor of the book, will speak at Signature Books on December 18 at 6:30 PM. This special event is in partnership with Benchmark Books, which will be on hand selling copies.
Utah Jazz legend Thurl Bailey narrates the audiobook, which is now the top new release in basketball audiobooks! Game Changers “chronicles the inspiring journey of AJ Dybantsa and his family as he stands on the cusp of transforming basketball, not only at BYU but in the professional game,” Bailey says of the book. “This thought-provoking read goes beyond AJ’s role in the sport, exploring the rich history of amateurism in athletics and its evolution into the NIL world of sports as business we know today.”
