Readers-Response Criticism of "Ex Basketball Player":
The Newest Ex-Basketball Player
"Ex-Basketball Player" by John Updike is about Flick Webb, who used to be an awesome basketball player. ... This poem reminds me a little bit of myself, I can relate to Flick because I too am an ex-basketball player. ... The street is "cut off" much like Flicks basketball career, which stopped before he had a chance to further it. In high school he was a great basketball player, "most of us remember it anyways" (22). ... The garage is "facing west" in which the sun sets just like the sun setting on his basketball career (5). ...
I started playing basketball when I was about three years old and fell in love with the sport.
