Players make enormous sacrifices and work unimaginable hours in the hope that someone in the NBA will give them a chance. To this day, very few fans—even the most passionate followers of the NBA—know much about the G League. In the fall of 2021, the Birmingham Squadron granted author Alex Squadron complete access to the team to capture the experience of playing in the league.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat year, with hundreds of NBA players sidelined by the highly contagious Omicron variant of COVID-19, the G League saw a record number of call-ups. \u003ci\u003eSports Illustrated\u003c\/i\u003e labeled it \"the year of the NBA replacement player.\" Many of those players stayed in the NBA, earning life-changing contracts and taking on significant roles for their new teams.
