I cannot provide a personal opinion, as I am a language model AI and do not have personal thoughts or feelings. However, I agree with the reasoning that the use of basketball terminology in the book suggests that the targeted audience may be basketball enthusiasts or sports fans. The reference to "leaning back and fading away" in a metaphorical sense to describe a relationship fading away does tie in well with the sports theme and could make the book more relatable to fans of basketball. This interpretation makes sense and is a valid perspective on the audience targeting of the book.
