The last Saturday in August, LC wins the Garland 21. That night, every light in Garland stays on - and every basketball court in the city wakes up hungry.

A faceless referee called the Commissioner runs the game now. Lose, and you take a Strike. Take three, and your whole street disappears. Sign his contract, and you'll never miss again - until the bill comes due.

LC and the Cliffwood Gs have one rule: nobody on Cliffwood signs. They have a green glass backboard nobody can touch, a loud-mouthed announcer living in the rims, and a crew that's been ride-or-die since kindergarten.

What they don't have is the whole truth.

Streetball. Loot. Floors. Family. Welcome to the Run.

BREAK THE BACKBOARD is a Black-led streetball LitRPG - a dungeon crawler built from Texas blacktop, block love, and the people who keep the lights on.
