145th Street
“Remember that, in case I get famous or something. My main man, my ace, the Jack who’s got my back, is Froggy Williams. Froggy is definitely for real. Only thing is that he doesn’t know scratch about ball.
“So you missed a shot,” Froggy said. “Big deal.”
“So we lost to Powell Academy,” I said. “We’re the only team uptown that has lost to Powell.”
“So what happened?”
“The game was down to fifteen seconds and we’re losing by a point,” I said. “Tommy Smalls steals the ball and they all jump up into... his face. Me, I see Tommy cop the pill and I’m running down the court. My man is trying to double-team Tommy and so I’m free as I want to be and standing under the basket.”
“Tommy didn’t see you?”
“No, he sees me, jumps up, and gets me the ball with like two seconds to go.”
“Yeah?”
“Then I blow the layup,” I said.
“Why you do that?” Froggy asked.
“How do I know?” I said. “I was free, I didn’t rush it, I banked it soft off the backboard just like in practice, and it rolled around the rim and fell off!”MoreLess
