This story was about how a NBA star started the bottom and endured the hardships his family went through to soon be one of the best and most recognized players in the league. Caron had a hard childhood growing up. Some of the barriers included racism and poor family. He and his mother lived with his grandma in a three bedroom and 1 basement house. They were the only ones living in the house, his grandma's other 7 kids loved there too. Since the house was so crowded everyone in the family either shared the bedroom or just fell asleep anywhere but the kitchen. Later his mother moved out with Caron to find their own place to live.

So I think Caron saw her as the real MVP. but she wasn't the only one who should have been consider the MVP because the landlord and his uncle played big roles in his life to get him to where he is now in life. I didn't like how he went so low he started selling drug, but I liked the part how he was still competitive. For instance, other would sell an ounce for twenty dollars, he would take the same amount but sell it for thirty or even more. I also enjoyed about this part was after being arrested a couple times, he finally learned his lesson and started to get his life back on track, even though he should have learned his lesson the first time around. Another part of the book, I really like was when Caron said the first thing he would do when he had a nice paying job was buy his mom a expensive new car for everything she has done for him. This is sign of Caron's thankfulness towards her because if it wasn't for her, he might still be on the streetS. On page 105, I liked it now Caron was more into playing video games than doing anything else. Another thing, I enjoyed about this part was that his uncle, Carlos was his biggest support system and his inspiration to play ball. Reason I liked this part was he was willing to try new things and turns out he enjoyed doing new
