beat best couple good job kid kids people player point seven shoot six solid
The best player is the point guard. He can shoot the 3 and can beat people off the dribble. Inside, the big kid does a very good job around the basket. And, they have a couple of other kids that look like pretty good athletes. They aren't real deep, but those six or seven kids are solid players.

But we do play awfully well together and we've got some basketball skills; we can pass it, we can shoot it and we try to guard you.
