Jon was snapped back to attention by the sound of a loud horn. He was now standing on a basketball court in the middle of an arena filled with screaming fans in purple and gold.
Jon looked down and was not surprised to see that he was now wearing a full basketball uniform, white jersey and shorts and some sharp-looking sneakers. He was a little shocked at how tall he was, though!
"This is awesome," said Jon. "I'm a basketball player!" Jon was on the Marquette basketball team and he was playing Connecticut in the NCAA Tournament!
Jon went out onto the court with the rest of his teammates. As he ran the floor, he knew exactly where to go when the point guard called out each play and realized the intricacies of the zone defense.
On the next possession, Jon got free of the man covering him. "Pass," he shouted to his teammate.
Jon got the ball and ran up the lane, leaping into the air and dunking the ball over a defender as the crowd went wild.
When Jon landed, he was speechless. How could he have jumped that high? He looked up at the net in disbelief and looked down again at his large body.
I wonder what else this body can do, thought Jon.
