Greg "Slam" Harris is the Main Character
== My name is Greg and I do the best of my abilities. I like to play basketball a lot, I dont really care about my grades and all the other school work, although my mom is very picky about them. Im always out in the street with my friends doing what I do and that is basketball. I argue with my mom a lot, and i dislike them because she always gets her way, and I can get into lots of trouble if im not carefule with my mouth. ==

== Summary: Slam can do it all in the court but he has some problems with his mom and doing his school work. He has a little sister named Ducky, that he loves and cares a lot about her but has small arguements with her. Even though he had problems at home and doing school work he never got into trouble at school or at the streets. So he was street smart unlike like others that get into lots of trouble and can lead into getting in jail. At school he has been lucky enough to have good enough grades in order to play in the school basketball team but who knows if his luck will run out. People out in the streets reconize him for being a great basketball player and even though he has lots of friends he has a lot of enemies because what I think is that they are jealous. ==


 * Bianca: ** is a girl that is a major role in Slam's life, what i mean about that is that he wishes to have close relatioship with her but for now they are just close friends.


 * Kicky: ** I s a friend of slam that has been friends with slam for a while now, and has been there for the good times and the bad times and helped him out on some isues he has had.


 * Mr. Tate: ** He is the math teacher of slam and also the coach of the school basketball team. He is a great math teacher and motivates him to do his work but also since he is the coach slam tried his best to show that he is a great student so that he lets him play in the court as well because you have to have good grades in order to play for the team.

In the book __Shadow Over The Back Court__ There is a kid names Jeff that has to go through a lot of pain because his dad doesnt agree with him that he should play basketball, but he is on the opposite side because he loves to play it and dreams of being a High School Varisty player and from there moving on to a Proffesional Basketball Player. While his dad wants him to be a researcher scientist just like him.


 * Hobbies and Interests:** Basketball is the life of Slam. He wakes up saturday morinings and exercises, after goes straight to the court and shoots some hoops untill players from out in the street come and they have a little game. Since Slam is use to playing with the grown ups or teenage guys that play rough, when he plays with the school team he says they're "whimps!" Therefore he tried to make his basketball team mates much rougher and strond by lifting weights in the morning.


 * Songs: ** The songs slam would hear would be more like Rap & Hip-Hop. That artist would be like Eminem a good motivator that always raps about not being afraid and about the soldiers being at war. Good song's i think he will like is "Im Not Afraid", "No Love", "Till i Colapse", "When Im Gone", or "Lose Yourself". Those songs motivate you a lot.


 * Education: ** Slam at first was very lazy and did not want to do work. He then got motivated by Basketball of the school and since you have to have good grades in order to play he tries hard and does his work and turns it in time than he practices with his school basketball team.
