Basketball Gods: A Short Story
by Richard A. Sanchez
A short story about brothers, basketball, growing up, and growing apart.Rob was the wonder kid growing up, so his older brother Danny took on the role of slacker. It's the middle of the night, but Danny is fighting with his girlfriend again, so there he is at Rob's door. A few beers later, they're playing one-on-one basketball for the first time in years, and it's feeling a little bit too much like old times for Rob.
