Basketball Obsession


by

Ken Horlor

 @KHorlor

Jim Baker's father is proud of him but there is a nagging feeling that it is pity not respect his father feels. Jim has fallen short of expectations and now his ailing father doesn't seem to show much interest. Obsessed with basketball and living in the shadow of his father, Jim coaches his team of misfits, hoping they can do what he failed to achieve. They have height and talent but all is not what it seems in their lives off the court. Drugs, drink, death. Can they put all that has happened behind them and come together as a team? 

Pete isn't the most talented, but he's big, he's dedicated and his family with their dubious business connections are incredibly supportive. To get out of the slum, to get noticed, he has to lead from the front.
