2. This is Kevin and he likes to
play basketball.

3. Kevin likes to score a lot of points.

4. He can be a ball hog sometimes.
That means he doesn’t like to pass the ball.

5. His teammates get upset when
he doesn’t pass the ball.

6. When Kevin’s teammates get mad,
they don’t play like a team.

7. When they don’t play like a team,
they get confused on the court.

8. If Kevin shoots the ball when he isn’t open,
the other team can block the ball.

9. That’s why it’s important to pass
the ball when he’s not open.

10. It also gives Kevin’s teammates a chance
to score points, too.

11. If Kevin passes the ball more,
his teammates will pass the ball back.

12. When Kevin is open to shoot the ball,
he is more likely to get the points.

you share the ball.
