The irony and humor of the title of the chapter named Rowdy and I have a long discussion about basketball is that their discussion is not long at all or serious. This is shown when Junior emails Rowdy and tells him that he is sorry about and Rowdy has a short and quick response: “Now that might just sound like a series of homophobic insults, but I think it was also a little bit friendly, and it was the first time that Rowdy had talked to me since I left the rez” (Alexie 198). This quote shows that Junior believes that even though Rowdy was insulting him, he believes that it was lighthearted. Overall the way that the title of this chapter portrays itself is very ironic because the discussion that Junior and Rowdy have is very different than that.
