Josh ends up hurting Jordan because Jordan insulted him, showing that there are differences of opinion that come between them. However, the story continues to show that even small differences can cause big problems. Josh is also more into academics than Jordan. Jordan likes to trash-talk on the court, but Josh prefers to stay quiet. Jordan likes North Carolina, but Josh wants to go to Duke. For starters, Jordan prefers to shoot from afar, while Josh would rather drive towards the basket and go up for a dunk.
The story starts by introducing the unimportant but notable differences between Josh and Jordan.
These differences ultimately estranged the two–temporarily, at least–from each other. They have different skills, likes and dislikes, and ways of dealing with others, most notably their father. Two identical twins, Josh and Jordan Bell, both share a love of basketball, but on the inside, they are very different. This is demonstrated very clearly in The Crossover, by Kwame Alexander. While on the outside, it might seem like there is no significant difference, on the inside, the case is different. No humans are truly the same: not even identical twins.
