HOOPS

Dear Reader,

            The story I’m reading is called Hoops. It’s about a kid named Lonnie who is just now turning 17 and just finished school and is trying to figure out how he going to get to college. And one day he meets a wino that eventually changes his life and he’s not actually a wino he’s a former NBA basketball player who got trouble for a gambling situation and got kicked out of the League. Now the relationship between Lonnie and the “wino” cal is goes from poor to great in the matter of months and the bond they had no one could beat…an as time progressed they had a father son type relationship and they could talk about anything and do anything together and have each others back and basically Cal just made Lonnie a better person and basketball player and basically that’s the moral of the story.

Dear Family Friends and loved ones,

       We are here today to show respect for the Great Friend. Cal was a Great man with bad habits and everyone has one knew it but just didnt bother to help him. He tryed hes best to get help and work everything out on his own but seem that didnt work because he was a former NBA player turn wino in a matter of a year.. but he also was a great role model i know it sounds crazy but he helped me out with alot of my problems he was like a father and a bestfriend to me, their would be nothing more that i could ask for except for him being an excellent coach and thats in its own category he taught me eveything twice as better as i tried to on my own, but he showed me all these great moves how to play better defense and just be the best ball player i could be and i did just that and before he died that night he died i told him this for you an all the things we been threw and as we went on that night we won 93-92 or something like that,but as i said before Coach Cal was a good man probably be a good father and good husband and their is nothing much you or i could ask for... -Lonnie
