Bookroo's summary

Joe, a self-proclaimed basketball star, dazzles with flashy moves but neglects teamwork. Cut from the freshman tryouts, he faces a pivotal challenge: can he shift from showman to team player and earn his spot back? As Joe grapples with his ego and the demands of the game, he must decide if he's ready to change his ways or risk losing his dream. Will he rise to the occasion or remain sidelined? Discover Joe's journey of self-discovery and redemption on the court.

From the publisher

Joe thinks of himself as The Flash, a hotshot basketball player who knows the coolest moves. The other members of his team aren’t as impressed. Joe spends too much time trying to wow the crowd, and not enough time helping the team. At tryouts for the freshman team, Joe is quickly cut. He needs to stop fooling around and prove he has what it takes to stay in the game.
