ROC's POV

"You wanna be Karrem?"

he said while dribbling a

basketball in front of Ray and Princeton,  He was wearing a "Clippers" jersey, with black basketball shorts and his hair pulled back into a puff ball.

"All his big butt does is stand by the basket" 

"But he could block all your shots" Princeton said

"I 'm gonna be like Dr.J" Ray said after shooting a basket.

"I'm gonna be like my dad." Roc said smiling

"He anit no star or nothing" princeton said

"but i don't see your daddy sowhere close to the NBA."

"For you informmation-" 

Ray cuts him off, "Ay yall look"

Princeton and Roc's eyes look in the same direction to find a kid in a T-shirt and some white basketball shorts with a pair beat-up pair of Converse and a Lakers cap pulled low.

"Looks like they just moved in" Ray said

"How can you tell?" Princeton said

"The moving van parked in front of their house was a big help." Ray said

"But i thought only girls were moving in... that's what my mom said." Roc said

"I hope he can ball." Ray said

"I bet he's a scrub." Princeton said

The boy came walking towards the basketball court where Roc, Princeton & Ray were.

The "Boy's" POV

Hey.

"Hey" Roc said

"Can i play?" i asked.

"Depends, you nice?" 

"Yeah, im nice." i answered.

Roc looked him up and down

Roc bounced passed the ball to the kid. He caught it and took of his cap revealing her medium length curly brown hair and her soft light Carmel skin face,

"Ah man, he ah girl!" Ray said

"Girls can't ball!."

"Bet i can ball better than you." i said with a little attitude.

Roc laughs derisively as Monica walks to the top of the court.

"What a dog" i heard Roc say and i shot him a glare.

"She heard you" Ray said with a slight chuckle

I starts to dribble. Ray whistling as he walks

backwards, guarding me. I throws up a shot.

"IT'S AN AIRBALL!" Roc said while him and Princeton laughed

Roc grabs the rebound and shoots. "Swishhh" he said as the ball made it in the basket.

"One, zip." Roc said

He rolls the ball to me. I starts dribbling and again,

Prince just backs up with her. I passes to Ray. Prince
