But unexpectedly, he ends up on the worst team. As the season begins, Greg and his new teammates' chances of winning a single game seem slim. But in sports, anything can happen. When everything is on the line and the ball is in Greg's hands, will he rise to the occasion? Or will he squander his big chance?
