Lonnie wants to be a basketball star, but his Gramps won’t put up a hoop at their house. 

Gramps says Lonnie is too young, leaving Lonnie utterly HOOPLESS. With the help of his Gran, who was a playground legend in her day, Lonnie learns to play in exchange for helping with chores around the house. Will it be enough to convince Gramps that Lonnie is ready for a hoop?
