Jimmy desperately wants to make the basketball team. But, surprisingly, it looks like Sean is surpassing him as a possible star player. Adding to Jimmy's pressure is his academic status - he's been given a few warnings since he can't seem to balance school and sports. When he convinces hyperactive Spinner to skip a Ritalin pill and give it to him instead, he plays a great game - but not as a team player, and at the cost of injuring Sean. Spinner, meanwhile, wired without his meds, moons the audience and receives a stiff sentence from Principal Raditch. Although Jimmy's nailed his assignment and played a strong game, the coach sees him as an uncontrollable rebel and he doesn't make the team.
