"Hoops" by, Walter Dean Myers
Nothing But Net
The Book “Hoops” by Walter Dean Myers is About a seventeen year old named Lonnie Jackson. He is the Main Character of this book the other main characters of this book is Paul who is Lonnie’s best friend and Cal who is the coach of Lonnie’s basketball team. This story takes place in a old Jain and finch type of area where Lonnie plays basketball on his team getting ready for the citywide basketball Tournament of Champions. There are a lot of mini conflicts of this book like how Paul was acting so suspicious, but the main conflict of this book was that there where heavy bettors want Cal to keep Lonnie on the Bench so there team will lose the championship. The good thing is Cal didn't care because Cal new Lonnie was good enough to make it to the NBA and Cal didn't want to blow his chance.
Lonnie Jackson (Lonnie Jackson)
These Two people are so alike. Not only do they have the same name and they both play basketball but they both share the same character traits.
I’m guessing by the pictures sometimes he is upset and being repulsive which Lonnie Jackson in the book hoops is very much like. Another character trait they might both have is being a ball hog half of the time Lonnie Jackson in real life gets the ball and Lonnie Jackson in the book hoops as exactly the same at the beginning of the book Hoops.
Cal (Roy Williams)
I choose Roy Williams to be Coach Cal because they are alike. They are alike because in the book Hoops Coach Cal was always a positive coach but when it came to game time he was pushing them Just like Roy Williams does to his basketball team. Another reason why I choose Roy Williams to be Coach Cal because this is how i imagine how he would look and be like in real if
Paul (Scottie Pippen)
I choose Scottie Pippen to be Paul because this is how I imagine Paul would look like in real life. There is one thing that is the same about them they are both nice but kind of secretive at the same time like if something is happening in Scottie Pippen’s life you would not even know about it.
