plot SummaryIn the big game against Park Prep , Drew passed the ball to Lee off King's body and Lee laid it in with one tick before the horn sounded to beat Park Prep by a bucket and win the championship. (Lupica, 286) This was a important event in the book because Drew was able to have a "redo" from a mistake on a previous game and also overcome his ego for the better of the team. Another reason why it was important was because it showed his team,family and fans that he isn't a one man show. He is a team leader or True Legend.

SettingThe setting in this book occurs in many places. One major setting is Morrison Park. This is the old basketball court without lights. All of the good players go to a different court, but this is where Drew goes. This is also where Drew and Urban first meet and get to talk. This is Drew's go-to place where he can go and just shoot around when he is feeling down.

Tone/MoodThe tone was both happy and mysterious. It was happy because even though this book had some bad times, they always ended positive. For example, Drew had a horrible lose to a good team. The next time they played that team, they won. This book is mysterious because they had times were Drew saw the "ghost" baller and was always curious of who he was until he met him.
