SSR Connection

The connection I have with the book "Slam!" by Dean Myers is Greg or "Slam" is that he loves to play basketball and so do I. Also he is in high school, Slam's mom always wants him to do good in school just like my mom and she says school comes first before fun and games. Just like Slam's mom said to him when he was to busy worrying getting better at basketball then to get his grades up. He grew up watching his brothers playing basketball and he started to play very young like I did we both wanted to be good as them. Now in the story Slam is better than his brothers by far. He can dunk! Obviously that's where he gets his nick name. More and more I read of this story the more i can connect to it. When first started reading it was boring but now I can stop reading it.
