[quote=Anonymous]You don't really have to say much at all.  Let him vent if he wants.  Otherwise move on.

What you do need to do though is make some decisions about basketball.  If he is not having fun with this team maybe it is time to move on.  It is not difficult to find more competitive basketball leagues/teams where he may find more kids who think about basketball the way he thinks about basketball.

The questions really pertain to whether it makes sense for your son and your family to have him devote some more time to basketball.  Is he athletic enough and big enough to step up to a more competitive league?  Would you support him in getting some outside coaching to improve his skills?  Is he frustrated because his teammates do not want to work as hard or play as hard as he does, or is he frustrated because they do not win?  If your kid is busting his tail on the court and he is playing with kids who are there for reasons like -- it is good exercise, or their parents think it is a social thing -- then he may well be ready to move on.
