Summary:
The chapeter had started off differently, because it started off with a basketball game, which was very interesting. So, the usually starting five was on the court, but the only difference was Tomas had got the start, as the starting forwars. Which Drew, though tomas didnt earn, it was like he was handed it. Anyways the team they were playing was called a FDA team, which meant they were a team that didnt have one great player, but they play good as a team. FDA teams tend to play zone, so they would make most teams shoot three pointers. They werent very athletic team either thats why zone fit them good, because it was simple to stop people from getting into the lane. Anyways, Drew thinks that this game is a easy win, and when he is in the game he is proving that, but after half time the coach got mad at him, and he stayed on the bench, which was the reason why they lost that game. Drew was feeling bad about himself, because of it.

Reactionary:
I though the quote was interesting because he thought that, that was the only way he would be seen as a star, which i dont think is true, because if you do good in any situation, you will shine. So I think that quote is wrong in a way.
