The Crossover

Walking Home

Hey, JB, you think we can win

the county championship this year?

I don’t know, man.

Hey, JB, why do you think

Dad never had

knee surgery?

Man, I don’t know.

Hey, JB, why can’t Dad eat—

Look, Filthy, we’ll win

if you stop missing free throws.

Nobody likes doctors.

And Dad can’t eat foods with too much salt

because Mom told him he can’t.

Any more questions?

Yeah, one more.

You want to play

to twenty-one

when we get home?

Sure. You got ten dollars? he asks.
