Dribble loved to play basketball. He would often wait around the basketball court near his home for hours, hoping to get involved in a game with other visitors to the court. One day, Dribble was asked to play basketball with three other boys his same age. He gladly accepted, and the four played for hours. However, the more the four boys played, the more physical the contact became under the basket as each boy pushed and shoved the others to gain the best position. The boys finally agreed that they would play one more game and then quit for the day. Dribble was determined that he and his teammate would prevail in the final game. The game was a close, hard-fought battle, and the two teams were tied with the next team to sink a basket winning the game. Dribble's teammate shot the basketball but missed. Dribble was determined that he would get the rebound on the missed shot but Potter, who played for the opposing team, had superior position under the basket. As the ball was falling off of the rim of the basket, Dribble elbowed Potter in the back, causing Potter to fall on the pavement and severely.
