Sharing thier love of basketball, Lucas (Chad Michael Murray) and Nathan (James Lafferty) join together as the seasons progress along with their ever growing hatred for their Sinful Father, Dan Scott (Paul Jonasson).

"I don't wanna be anything other than what I've been tryin' be lately, I don't wanna be anything other than me." This is the main messagfe within the theme tune to One Tree Hill performed by Gavin Degraw.
