QUESTION 1:What does this book make you wonder about? Why?

RESPONSE 1:Well basically in Brooklyn there is two players, Fly and Alber King, they are both NBA material. Since Brooklyn isn't exactly the safest place in the world, and lots of people get into drugs and stuff that isn't healthy it could take a toll on the players. Because I have seen movies where the players skills are killed by there addiction to drugs and violence. So it really makes me wonder, and in a bad way if they are both going to make it, because right now Fly is too full of himself and has friends who have and sell drugs. On the other hand Albert King is only fourteen, a good student, shy, and a nice guy, so it would be really sad if he didn't make it.


QUESTION 2: What character do you like most in this book and/or what character do you like least? Why?

RESPONSE 2: In this book my favorite character is either Albert King or Rodney. I would choose Albert because he is like six foot five, and only fourteen. Plus he seems like anice guy, geets good grades, and isn't afraid to get in their with the fierce twenty years old. Not only is he in, he is probably one of the best out there, including Fly. I would choose Rodney because he has trained a few basketball players who I know really well and made a big name for themselves in the NBA. People like Lenny Wilkens, Jim Mcmillan, and Connie Hawkins. Plus he is underway training two prospects Fly and Albert King. My least favorite character would have to be Fly, because he is so full of himself, and everyone listens to him, and I have a feeling he is going to let everyone down. Because everyone expects him to play in the NBA, and he, I bet is going to mess up, maybe drugs, or some sort of violence missunderstanding.
