Mike Lupica

Travel Team is about a short kid named Danny Walker who has always been great at basketball but struggles with his height. His dad, Richie Walker, was a professional basketball and played for Syracuse in college, but he leaves his wife (Danny's mom) and only visits occasionally. In his professional career, Richie Walker had a car accident that ended his career. When Danny Walker tries out for the town travel team, the same team that his dad had lead to the championship (and won), and gets cut because he's "too short", his dad comes back to stay and decides to make a travel team of his own for all the kids who got cut. This is a great book, I hope you like it.

Basketball

There were many important events in the book "Summer Ball". But if I had to choose a main event it would be when the main character Danny faced off against his worst enemy, Lamar Parrish, an arrogant basketball player but one who could back it up with his performance on the floor. Well they faced off with each other in the Championship game of a travel tournament in Maine. The game was so important to Danny because he wanted to impress his friends, and his coach, who doubted his ability because of his lack of size.

The antagonist were the people who were trying to prove that Michael was too old to play.
