At the very beginning of the book, he was stressing out because he had a book report due soon and was also being pressured to play basketball. He didn’t really want to play basketball for a team because then, he would have no time for his other favorite sports or other things like homework, but he just didn't know how to tell his friends without letting them down. One day after school Amar'e and his friends went to shoot some hoops but when they arrived they were greeted by older and taller kids.
