Zayd’s uncle, Jamal Mamoo, is at the center of plans for his upcoming wedding, which is all anyone at home talks about. When Adam misses basketball practice, the coach puts Zayd in Adam’s position. Zayd is not sure about playing point guard, but the harder he works, the more his confidence and abilities grow. He even shares some lessons from basketball with his uncle and soon-to-be aunt about taking charge while being a team player.
