In the heart of the United States, shaped like a chunky little boot, resides the enchanting state of Ohio. Now in Ohio, there's a magical group of kids who are absolutely bonkers about basketball. Home to LeBron James and the bouncing cavaliers, the state pulses with a basketball heartbeat that echoes through every alley, every park, every school. Meet our imaginary friend, Bouncey the Basketball. He is always pumped up, forever round, and full of tales from the basketball courts of Ohio. Bouncey has traveled up, down, left, right, and sometimes even in circles, in the clutches of these basketball-loving Ohio kids. At the sound of a whistle, he's launched into the air, reaching for the stars, hoping not to get a 'foul' smell from the clouds. These Ohioan kids have mastered the art of dribbling. Not the kind you do when you see a plate of hot, cheesy pizza after a long day at school, but the basketball kind! They can dribble behind their backs, between their legs, and if they are feeling particularly cheeky, around Bouncey's imaginary pet cat. Their joyous laughter rings out as they pass Bouncey back and forth, their spirits as high as their vertical jumps. Their basketball games are as unpredictable as Ohio's weather. One moment, the sun is shining, and player A is shooting hoops like a pro. The next moment, it's raining, and player B is slipping, sliding, and making three-pointers from the puddles! Point is, Ohio offers a basketball adventure every day, and Bouncey and his band of sporty sorcerers wouldn't have it any other way!
