"Hakeem 'The Dream's Olajuwon?! Please! Demi poured gin and cracked two kola nuts, as is tradition, but saw the small-talk and pleasantries thaw" 🏀🌧️ This picture did not turn out at all as I had hoped. I really wish I could've gotten koala nuts for this post but instead I had to settle for the rain. Despite getting myself and this book soaked, you can't even really tell how much it's raining in the photo! This is a really unique and cool read. From the back: "part Homeric-style epic, part female-focused revenge tragedy". Thanks @bookworm_man for putting it on my radar,really enjoyed it! 🏀🌧️ #thehalfgodofrainfall #inuaellams #basketball https://www.instagram.com/p/B_XapTzq2AJ/?igshid=9m2r2n5uas9g
