Summary

A brand new basketball story about the highs and lows of winning.

When basketball-obsessed 11-year-old Raam discovers that his idol, Aron Hardaway, will be attending the renowned basketball summer camp, Hoop-Con, he is prepared to do whatever is necessary to go. His attitude and confidence are quickly turned upside down when he is challenged to a 1v1 against the best player his age in front of everyone at the camp, including Aron. He trips and falls trying th showboat and is wildly embarrassed. The infamous moment quickly goes viral.

Raam is sure his basketball career is over (pretty much before it even happened), but also his friendship with his best friend. It seems like Raam’s whole summer is doomed. That is, until his parents send him from Florida to LA, where his cousin Trina lives with her parents.

Trina's a fierce ballplayer herself and she's convinced that the upcoming Ballerfest is just the thing Raam needs. But is Raam ready to face his fears and hit the court?
