Situation 14:
Basketball Practice 2(Robert and Billy run to basketball
practice.They go to their coach,Coach Malone,to ask
him who is right.)
Coach Malone,tell Robert good shoes make good players.
What?
Coach Malone,tell Billy shoes are not important.
Coach Malone,I got new Air Jordans yesterdayand I said they will
make me a better basketball player.
And I am using my old Reeboks,but I said I’ll still be a good basketball
player.
You are both right. Good shoes are comfortable and help you not to get hurt.
But they won’t make you a better player.And a great player will play great in any
shoes.
So who is right? We bet five dollars. Who wins?
Yeah,who wins?
Nobody wins.You are both partially right,and you are both partially wrong.
Now get ready for practice.Robert, you practice lay ups.
Billy, you practice free throws.And don’t worry, both of your shoes are
fine.If I had shoes that good when I was young I would have been a
much better player.
See, I was right! Give me my five dollars!
