FamilyIn the book Danny lives with his mother. His mother works at St. Pats school, which is why he goes there. His mother always supported him, wether it was trying out for the basketball team, or even coaching his one one. Also, when Danny's dad comes to visit and he sees how upset Danny is when he didn't make the basketball team he doesn't let it slide, he does something about it. He creates their own team. For people like Danny, who were told they weren't good enough.

FrendshipI chose friendship for a theme to this book for a couple reasons. First off Danny's best friend will always stood by him no matter what the circumstances. I believe he is what a true friend should be. Second, everybody on Danny's basketball team won and lost as a team and they would always try to get better together.
