BR 5: Slam dunk for Mark

He jumps and ... it's a slam dunk! (p. 5)

This is the story about basketball team that go to the finals in the tournament. Actually, the team go to the finals but the main character, Mark, doesn't play because his grand mother got sick and he will accompany her. Then, he are bullied because of this. To avoid that happening, what should Mark do? He says, basket ball is only a game, but that is true? I understand what he says, however, I can't fully agree with him because some play basketball sincerely. What do you think about it?
