[Michael doesn't think he'll be tall enough for basketball, but he doesn't love it enough to be that sad about it. Ash is tall. Not basketball tall, but he's fast and could be skilled enough to be good at it. He bets if his dad and Ash play, Ash always wins. Max can't exactly deny it, so. He says Dad might win if they played football, but two people can't play football. He won't bring up baseball unless Ash does. Michael is as interested in Ash as Ash is in asking him the right questions; Thanksgiving with Dad is cool, but Ash is Ash. It's not something Max begrudges him. Ash is actually a little cool.]
