Basketball, Qatar-style

Scott's first love is football. American football. Quarterbacks, wide receivers, linebackers. But there is no opportunity to play football here unless you're playing in the backyard with your dad and brother. And that's great fun and all, but not the same as playing on a real team with other 8 year-olds, trying to grab that flag.

So it's basketball. Limited opportunity, but an opportunity nonetheless. You have to make the team. He did. Tournament at school with other local schools. He had a ball (no pun intended. Oh yeah, it was intended).
