Description

Marcus is the high scorer and best rebounder on his basketball team, but he has one weakness: free throws.

So when he misses four free throws at the end of an important game and his team loses, he turns to Mr. Dunn, the school custodian, who has just the trick to help Marcus get back on top: the "granny shot." Mr. Dunn shares with Marcus how former NBA star Rick Barry used this unorthodox way of shooting foul shots.

Despite his success in practice, Marcus refuses to use the "granny shot" in an actual game. It looks ridiculous! But when he finds himself on the foul line again at a crucial time in an important game, will he be able to overcome his pride and score for his team?

Another fast-paced story about conquering weaknesses and vanity to become your best. In the afterword, learn more about real-life NBA player Rick Barry and his infamous "granny shot."
