The game begins after the old are split from the young. The 40+ men from around the neighborhood didn't look good on paper, but in action the case is quite the opposite, especially on a seven foot rim. The young team looked young and confident. The young team passed the ball around. A three pointer was knocked down. The old team received the ball. One pass and a sports center top ten dunk was thrown down on the young team. They couldn't stop it. The young got the ball and attempted a dunk. It was never even close. The old got the ball again. The young are dunked on again. The old, church leaders of the group looked smugly at their opponents. The old told the young they have no chance. But the young won't give up, they knew they can beat the leaders.
I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.
-Michael Jordon
The young players shoot the ball again, they miss. They do not give up though. They still believe they have a chance.
They continue to play, even though victory looks bleak. They will not let anything get in their way to success.
