Ryan Carter, a die-hard fan of Russell Westbrook, tragically dies in a car accident after watching one of Westbrook’s most electrifying performances. But death isn’t the end—it’s the beginning. He awakens to find himself chosen by the mysterious Basketball Soul System, granting him a chance to be reborn in a parallel world with the abilities of any current NBA player. Without hesitation, he chooses his idol: 2016–2017 MVP Russell Westbrook, in his prime triple-double form.

Now reborn in the basketball-obsessed world of the ABA, Ryan joins the Iron City Roarers. With unstoppable athleticism, relentless energy, and a hunger to win, he begins carving a new legend—one fast break at a time.

Basketball Soul System: I Got Westbrook’s MVP Powers in Another World!

The Roarers were flying home first this time—straight back to Iron City. Their next game wasn't until Wednesday, giving them a rare four-day gap.

The Vipers matchup had been a 5:30 PM tip-off, so by the time Ryan made it back to Unit 702, it was just past midnight. Jamal and Kylie were still awake, waiting. They dragged him out for a "40-Piece Triple-Double Celebration Meal."

They didn't go anywhere fancy—just hit up a 24-hour burger joint a few blocks away. Greasy fries, salty nuggets, milkshakes too thick for the straws. But that wasn't the point.

It had only been a week since they last saw each other, but it felt longer. Between the travel, the press, the rising buzz around Ryan's name, he hadn't had a second to breathe. Sitting there, surrounded by the Miller siblings' usual banter and sarcasm, he felt something close to normal again. Like family.

Sunday. The team had the day off. Ryan did not.
