1. Hoops is a reference to basketball, but it is also a reference to the obstacles someone from Lonnie’s background may be forced to overcome (or “jump through”) to achieve their goals. Lonnie faces obstacles that include his socioeconomic status, his environment, and his difficulty controlling his emotions. (Various chapters)
