1
00:01:12,939 --> 00:01:14,930
Yeah! Nice job! Nice pass!

2
00:01:17,911 --> 00:01:20,311
St. Francis High School
basketball phenom

3
00:01:20,513 --> 00:01:22,811
Ty Crane,
who they recruited just last year,

4
00:01:23,016 --> 00:01:25,177
is widely held as
the next LeBron James.

5
00:01:25,385 --> 00:01:27,649
We simply know him
as ''The Crane.''

6
00:01:29,322 --> 00:01:30,289
Come on.

7
00:01:45,839 --> 00:01:48,899
Come on, y'all!
Timo, let's go man, come on.

8
00:01:49,109 --> 00:01:50,337
Yeah, whatever.

9
00:02:00,153 --> 00:02:01,848
Where you at? Where you at?

10
00:02:03,022 --> 00:02:04,512
Pick him up! Pick him up!

11
00:02:10,930 --> 00:02:12,124
- Hey, son.
- Hey.

12
00:02:12,332 --> 00:02:13,560
Right here, right here.

13
00:02:16,769 --> 00:02:18,327
- Blue ball!
- Good D, baby!

14
00:02:18,538 --> 00:02:20,199
- Damn!
- What the hell are you doing, y'all?

15
00:02:20,406 --> 00:02:23,398
- You took three steps this way.
- Yo, l put my fist up, man.

16
00:02:23,610 --> 00:02:25,942
Yo, homey, look where you're throwing
the ball, man. Damn.

17
00:02:26,146 --> 00:02:28,444
- Get your man!
- l knew it. l knew it.

18
00:02:32,452 --> 00:02:33,680
Yeah!

19
00:02:33,887 --> 00:02:35,718
St. Francis is up by 22.

20
00:02:45,798 --> 00:02:47,459
Stay out of my way, bitch.
l own you.

21
00:02:47,667 --> 00:02:49,601
- Oh, hell no!
- Bitch!

22
00:02:49,802 --> 00:02:51,702
Let's go! Let's go!

23
00:02:52,172 --> 00:02:54,299
Oh, no. Come on, guys, stop that!

24
00:02:57,343 --> 00:02:59,675
- Let me go!
- Hey! Hey!

25
00:03:01,447 --> 00:03:03,074
l'm good. Get off me!

26
00:03:03,550 --> 00:03:04,949
Get off me, get off me!

27
00:03:05,718 --> 00:03:07,413
That's it! Game's over!

28
00:03:08,454 --> 00:03:09,853
Game's over!

29
00:03:10,056 --> 00:03:11,421
Crane. Great game, great game.

30
00:03:11,624 --> 00:03:15,685
Tell everyone out there what it
feels like to be the next LeBron James.

31
00:03:15,895 --> 00:03:19,456
LeBron James?
l'm the only Ty Crane.

32
00:03:21,334 --> 00:03:24,963
All right, you heard it here first,
''the only Ty Crane.''

33
00:03:25,405 --> 00:03:27,669
Why do all the benchwarmers
always got something to say?

34
00:03:27,874 --> 00:03:29,307
We watching the damn game,
that's why.

35
00:03:29,509 --> 00:03:30,999
- You got a good view, huh?
- Yeah.

36
00:03:31,211 --> 00:03:33,179
Ty Crane outscored
our whole team by himself.

37
00:03:33,379 --> 00:03:35,745
- Wonder how that happened.
- We had nothing but 32 points.

38
00:03:35,949 --> 00:03:37,849
l got 1 2 of them.
What did you get, Kenyon?

39
00:03:38,051 --> 00:03:39,848
Just shut up, dog.
The Crane swooped down on you

40
00:03:40,053 --> 00:03:42,180
and delivered a basket of beat-down.
He clowned you, dog.

41
00:03:42,388 --> 00:03:45,118
- Yeah, you better shut the hell up.
- He had you on lock the whole game.

42
00:03:45,325 --> 00:03:47,759
Lyle, why don't you shut your mouth
before l close it for good.

43
00:03:47,961 --> 00:03:49,485
You didn't do shit either
the whole game.

44
00:03:49,696 --> 00:03:51,664
What, homey?
l will slap the taste out your mouth!

45
00:03:51,864 --> 00:03:53,889
- Can we all just get along?
- Shut your little ass up!

46
00:03:54,100 --> 00:03:56,159
- You didn't even play!
- That's what l'm talking about.

47
00:03:56,369 --> 00:03:59,099
- Shay, pass the ball, dog!
- You got two points in 1 6 minutes,

48
00:03:59,305 --> 00:04:01,466
- that's why coach got rid of your ass.
- Exactly!

49
00:04:01,674 --> 00:04:04,108
Timo, you was in the whole time,
you never even touched the rock.

50
00:04:04,310 --> 00:04:05,937
You didn't do shit.
You might as well--

51
00:04:06,145 --> 00:04:09,478
- Who was you passing the ball to?
- You were playing and didn't do shit!

52
00:04:15,521 --> 00:04:19,457
Kenny Ray Carter, Richmond
High School all-American, 1 9 72.

53
00:04:20,059 --> 00:04:21,424
Good to see you, sir.

54
00:04:21,628 --> 00:04:23,789
l was really happy to see you
in the stands tonight.

55
00:04:23,997 --> 00:04:27,296
l have to tell you, sir,
l haven't made up my mind yet.

56
00:04:28,735 --> 00:04:31,499
As l've told you,
it's time for me to step down.

57
00:04:31,704 --> 00:04:33,968
Last few years
have been really tough.

58
00:04:34,173 --> 00:04:36,141
Well, losing's hard, sir.

59
00:04:37,377 --> 00:04:40,278
This isn't about
losing games, Kenny.

60
00:04:41,547 --> 00:04:45,779
l can't get them to show up
for school, for practice.

61
00:04:46,252 --> 00:04:49,449
l can't get parents involved, and l'm
done chasing kids in the streets

62
00:04:49,656 --> 00:04:51,146
and pulling them into the gym.

63
00:04:51,357 --> 00:04:52,949
Yeah, it's a tough job.

64
00:04:53,159 --> 00:04:55,320
Richmond is a tough little city.

65
00:04:55,728 --> 00:04:58,959
When l saw you here tonight,
l thought, ''l got him. He's in.''

66
00:04:59,165 --> 00:05:02,066
Well, actually,
l was here for another reason.

67
00:05:02,268 --> 00:05:04,896
My son plays for St. Francis.

68
00:05:05,104 --> 00:05:06,594
He does?

69
00:05:07,073 --> 00:05:09,803
- Which kid was he?
- Well, you didn't see him.

70
00:05:10,009 --> 00:05:13,274
- He's a freshman. He didn't play.
- That's great. Great school.

71
00:05:14,781 --> 00:05:15,975
What, you wanna go?

72
00:05:18,618 --> 00:05:20,518
- Hey!
- Lyle, bring it!

73
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,951
Let him go. You think everybody's
scared of you? l ain't scared of you!

74
00:05:24,157 --> 00:05:28,491
Cruz, chill, man. Why you gotta be
trying to act all hard all the time, man?

75
00:05:28,828 --> 00:05:31,126
God, l'm sick of you, man!

76
00:05:33,499 --> 00:05:35,865
You know, that school was rough
when l went there.

77
00:05:36,069 --> 00:05:38,560
lt's way beyond that now.

78
00:05:38,771 --> 00:05:41,467
Well, then, just forget about it.
Don't even discuss it again.

79
00:05:41,674 --> 00:05:45,804
l can't quite do that. Coach officially
offered me the job tonight.

80
00:05:46,012 --> 00:05:47,206
The clock's ticking.

81
00:05:47,413 --> 00:05:50,280
And when you say ''offering job,''
there's usually money involved.

82
00:05:50,483 --> 00:05:53,850
Yeah, there might be
a thousand bucks in it for me.

83
00:05:54,053 --> 00:05:55,452
For five months of work?

84
00:05:55,655 --> 00:05:58,590
Oh, well, you can't say no to that.

85
00:05:58,791 --> 00:06:01,089
And the team, it's so bad.

86
00:06:01,294 --> 00:06:04,092
Those boys,
they're so angry and undisciplined.

87
00:06:04,297 --> 00:06:06,231
And besides, you know,
you don't have the time.

88
00:06:06,432 --> 00:06:07,922
You're trying to open up
a second store.

89
00:06:08,134 --> 00:06:10,534
Exactly, l don't have the--
Hell, l don't have any time.

90
00:06:10,737 --> 00:06:12,762
And you promised to take
your girlfriend to Mexico.

91
00:06:12,972 --> 00:06:14,439
And l'm definitely
keeping that promise.

92
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,870
There's no way
l'm not going to Mexico

93
00:06:17,076 --> 00:06:20,136
and hanging out on the beach
with you in your bikini.

94
00:06:20,346 --> 00:06:21,540
l can't take that job.

95
00:06:22,548 --> 00:06:24,482
So when do you start?

96
00:06:28,988 --> 00:06:30,922
- You should've spoken to me first.
- Why?

97
00:06:31,124 --> 00:06:34,491
- lt was a personal choice for me.
- So, what happens to me?

98
00:06:34,694 --> 00:06:36,218
You still gonna come to my games?

99
00:06:36,429 --> 00:06:39,262
l'll probably miss most of
your games, Damien. l'm sorry.

100
00:06:39,465 --> 00:06:40,989
Then l'll go to Richmond
and play for you.

101
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:42,394
No.

102
00:06:42,602 --> 00:06:44,229
Well, why not?

103
00:06:44,737 --> 00:06:49,106
- Dad, you've always been my coach.
- This is a great school, Damien.

104
00:06:49,542 --> 00:06:51,134
lt puts you in a great position
for college.

105
00:06:51,344 --> 00:06:52,777
Dad, l'm a freshman!

106
00:06:52,979 --> 00:06:54,571
Just because l'm coaching
at Richmond,

107
00:06:54,781 --> 00:06:57,249
it doesn't change our plans
for your future, all right?

108
00:07:23,643 --> 00:07:27,306
Yo, my man, l need a vial, man.
You got that good dope? How much?

109
00:07:41,794 --> 00:07:43,227
You forgot to bring your lD,
didn't you?

110
00:07:43,429 --> 00:07:45,454
- l forgot it.
- Every day.

111
00:07:45,731 --> 00:07:48,495
Good morning. Ken Carter.

112
00:07:51,604 --> 00:07:53,504
- Thanks.
- Here you go, sir.

113
00:07:54,607 --> 00:07:56,268
Hey, yo, what's up?

114
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,878
- Nice to see you again, Mr. Carter.
- You too, ma'am.

115
00:08:04,083 --> 00:08:08,315
lf the offer still stands,
l'd like to coach the team.

116
00:08:09,989 --> 00:08:13,288
Well, l hope you're up for the task.
These young men need discipline.

117
00:08:14,093 --> 00:08:16,027
The job comes with a $1 ,500 stipend

118
00:08:16,229 --> 00:08:19,323
and a major time commitment
for the next four months.

119
00:08:20,299 --> 00:08:22,529
- l accept.
- Great.

120
00:08:22,902 --> 00:08:25,302
We're thrilled to have you.
Gentlemen, l hate to be abrupt,

121
00:08:25,505 --> 00:08:27,700
but l do have a budget meeting
l need to run to.

122
00:08:27,907 --> 00:08:30,034
Mr. Carter, is there anything
you need from us?

123
00:08:30,243 --> 00:08:34,612
Well, l just need about
25 copies of this document.

124
00:08:36,182 --> 00:08:38,480
- l'm all set.
- Ray, would you see to it

125
00:08:38,684 --> 00:08:40,845
that Mr. Carter--?
Coach Carter gets these copies?

126
00:08:41,053 --> 00:08:43,521
- Will do.
- Gentlemen.

127
00:08:46,192 --> 00:08:49,559
l'm not saying this is
not gonna be a challenge,

128
00:08:49,762 --> 00:08:51,229
but, Kenny, you know the deal here.

129
00:08:51,430 --> 00:08:54,422
Just keep in mind,
these are good boys.

130
00:08:54,634 --> 00:08:56,898
Guys! Guys!

131
00:08:57,103 --> 00:08:58,695
Guys!

132
00:08:58,905 --> 00:09:02,204
Now, as you know, l've been-- Hey!

133
00:09:02,408 --> 00:09:03,966
You know l've been looking
for a new coach

134
00:09:04,176 --> 00:09:06,303
to take over for me this season.

135
00:09:06,946 --> 00:09:10,006
This is Ken Carter.
He went to Richmond.

136
00:09:10,216 --> 00:09:12,741
He was a two-sport all-American.

137
00:09:12,952 --> 00:09:16,251
Still holds records
for scoring, assists, steals.

138
00:09:16,455 --> 00:09:19,891
Basketball scholarship to
George Mason University.

139
00:09:20,092 --> 00:09:22,219
We're lucky to have Coach Carter.

140
00:09:22,428 --> 00:09:25,420
Now, let's give him
the respect he's due.

141
00:09:25,631 --> 00:09:28,065
- They're all yours, coach.
- Thank you, sir.

142
00:09:31,537 --> 00:09:33,164
Good afternoon, young men.

143
00:09:33,372 --> 00:09:38,241
As Coach White said, l'm your
new basketball coach, Ken Carter.

144
00:09:39,278 --> 00:09:41,212
l guess l need to speak louder
so you can hear me.

145
00:09:41,414 --> 00:09:43,848
l'm Ken Carter,
your new basketball coach.

146
00:09:44,050 --> 00:09:47,349
We hear you, dog.
But we can't see you.

147
00:09:47,553 --> 00:09:49,043
The glare from your
big, black-ass head

148
00:09:49,255 --> 00:09:51,223
is hella shiny, man.
Damn, do you buff it?

149
00:09:51,424 --> 00:09:54,791
Oh, you got jokes to go along
with that ugly jump shot of yours, huh?

150
00:09:56,829 --> 00:09:59,491
First of all, if you need to know
my credentials,

151
00:09:59,699 --> 00:10:03,066
as Coach White said,
they're on the wall there behind you.

152
00:10:03,536 --> 00:10:09,907
Secondly, if basketball practice
starts at 3, you are late as of 2:55.

153
00:10:11,544 --> 00:10:14,672
You, shooting the ball.
What's your name, sir?

154
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,815
Jason Lyle, but l ain't no sir.

155
00:10:18,017 --> 00:10:19,416
You're not a sir.

156
00:10:20,119 --> 00:10:21,643
Well, are you a madam?

157
00:10:22,989 --> 00:10:27,050
- Little bitch. Bitch.
- As of now, you are a sir.

158
00:10:27,259 --> 00:10:28,954
So are the rest of you.

159
00:10:29,161 --> 00:10:31,721
''Sir'' is a term of respect.

160
00:10:31,931 --> 00:10:35,492
And you will have my respect
until you abuse it.

161
00:10:36,068 --> 00:10:40,129
Mr. Lyle, how many games
did you guys win last season?

162
00:10:40,973 --> 00:10:43,464
Like four wins, 22 losses.

163
00:10:43,809 --> 00:10:45,936
- Sir.
- Sir.

164
00:10:48,414 --> 00:10:50,712
l'm going to give you contracts.

165
00:10:52,718 --> 00:10:56,552
lf you sign and honor
your side of them,

166
00:10:56,756 --> 00:10:58,917
we are going to be successful.

167
00:10:59,125 --> 00:11:01,559
Damn, do l get a signing bonus
for signing this contract?

168
00:11:01,761 --> 00:11:05,527
Yes, sir.
You get to become a winner.

169
00:11:06,399 --> 00:11:09,698
Because if there's one thing l know,
it is this:

170
00:11:10,202 --> 00:11:12,636
The losing stops now.

171
00:11:13,606 --> 00:11:17,167
Starting today, you will play
like winners, act like winners,

172
00:11:17,376 --> 00:11:21,210
and most importantly,
you will be winners.

173
00:11:21,414 --> 00:11:24,941
lf you listen and learn,
you'll win basketball games.

174
00:11:25,384 --> 00:11:28,444
And, gentlemen, winning in here...

175
00:11:28,921 --> 00:11:31,151
...is the key to winning out there.

176
00:11:31,590 --> 00:11:36,084
This contract states that you will
maintain a 2.3 grade point average.

177
00:11:36,295 --> 00:11:38,126
You will attend all your classes

178
00:11:38,330 --> 00:11:41,094
and you will sit in the front row
of those classes.

179
00:11:41,300 --> 00:11:43,962
- Yo, this a country-ass nigga, dog.
- Excuse me.

180
00:11:44,170 --> 00:11:46,832
- Did you say something, sir?
- Worm was wondering,

181
00:11:47,039 --> 00:11:49,974
are you some country church nigga,
with your tie on and all that?

182
00:11:50,176 --> 00:11:51,768
- Right.
- That's what you wanna say, right?

183
00:11:51,977 --> 00:11:53,205
And what is your name, sir?

184
00:11:53,612 --> 00:11:55,443
l'm Timo Cruz, sir.

185
00:11:55,748 --> 00:11:58,842
Well, Mr. Cruz and Mr. Worm,

186
00:11:59,652 --> 00:12:04,555
what you should both know
is we treat ourselves with respect.

187
00:12:04,757 --> 00:12:06,190
We don't use the word ''nigga.''

188
00:12:06,392 --> 00:12:08,292
Are you some preacher man
or some shit?

189
00:12:08,494 --> 00:12:10,724
Because God ain't gonna do you
no good in this neighborhood.

190
00:12:10,930 --> 00:12:13,023
- l live in this neighborhood, sir.
- Sir.

191
00:12:13,232 --> 00:12:16,224
Can you believe
this uppity Negro, sir?

192
00:12:17,837 --> 00:12:19,429
Okay, Mr. Cruz...

193
00:12:20,139 --> 00:12:23,040
- ...leave the gym right now.
- For what?

194
00:12:23,242 --> 00:12:27,076
l'll ask you one last time
to leave the gym

195
00:12:27,279 --> 00:12:30,806
- before l help you leave.
- Before you what?

196
00:12:32,351 --> 00:12:33,648
Do you even know who l am?

197
00:12:34,220 --> 00:12:37,383
From what l can see, a very confused
and scared young man.

198
00:12:37,590 --> 00:12:40,991
Scared of who? Scared of you?
l'm supposed to be scared of you?

199
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,261
Nigga, l ain't scared of nobody.
l will lay your ass out.

200
00:12:44,463 --> 00:12:45,725
l don't think so.

201
00:12:51,737 --> 00:12:53,227
All right.

202
00:12:58,811 --> 00:13:01,143
What you doing? Get off me!

203
00:13:04,150 --> 00:13:06,175
Teachers ain't supposed
to touch students.

204
00:13:06,385 --> 00:13:08,182
l'm not a teacher.

205
00:13:08,754 --> 00:13:10,779
l'm your new basketball coach.

206
00:13:19,698 --> 00:13:21,666
This ain't over!

207
00:13:35,714 --> 00:13:39,115
ls there anybody else
who's not feeling this contract?

208
00:13:40,419 --> 00:13:42,717
Come on, man, where you going?

209
00:13:45,157 --> 00:13:47,182
l don't do high school contracts.

210
00:13:47,393 --> 00:13:48,860
Tell us when you need
the real ballers.

211
00:13:49,061 --> 00:13:51,154
l will do that, sir.

212
00:13:51,363 --> 00:13:53,165
There goes our two leading scorers
from last season, man.

213
00:13:53,165 --> 00:13:53,859
There goes our two leading scorers
from last season, man.

214
00:13:54,066 --> 00:13:57,229
Then l guess we'll have new
leading scorers this season, huh?

215
00:13:59,505 --> 00:14:01,268
Now, l cannot teach you the game
of basketball

216
00:14:01,473 --> 00:14:05,466
until your conditioning is at a level
that allows me to do so.

217
00:14:05,678 --> 00:14:08,841
Gentlemen, report to the baseline.

218
00:14:11,717 --> 00:14:13,150
To the baseline!

219
00:14:20,559 --> 00:14:23,357
l presume you all know
what suicides are.

220
00:14:23,562 --> 00:14:24,790
So...

221
00:14:32,771 --> 00:14:35,296
l saw the St. Francis game
the other night.

222
00:14:35,975 --> 00:14:38,535
None of you have a problem
shooting the ball.

223
00:14:38,878 --> 00:14:42,405
You all had a problem
getting up and down the court.

224
00:14:43,349 --> 00:14:46,341
lf you are late, you will run.

225
00:14:46,552 --> 00:14:50,386
lf you give me attitude,
you will do push-ups.

226
00:14:50,756 --> 00:14:53,725
So you can push-up or shut up.

227
00:14:53,926 --> 00:14:55,393
That's up to you.

228
00:14:55,761 --> 00:14:58,025
- Yo, how many we gonna do?
- Sir.

229
00:14:59,131 --> 00:15:01,725
Yo, sir, how many we gonna do?

230
00:15:01,934 --> 00:15:06,997
Let's see how many you can do
in one hour and seven minutes.

231
00:15:08,674 --> 00:15:10,574
Fellas, don't make me
commit homicide.

232
00:15:10,943 --> 00:15:14,310
l said, suicides!
Put your hand on the line!

233
00:15:14,513 --> 00:15:17,380
Put your hand on the line!

234
00:15:19,618 --> 00:15:23,554
Damn, l can't keep this shit up, man.
l can barely walk.

235
00:15:23,756 --> 00:15:27,214
- l know, my legs is hella sore, son.
- Need some Gatorade or something.

236
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,386
- There go your girl right there, son.
- Yeah.

237
00:15:31,597 --> 00:15:34,157
Hey, what's with you and her homeys?
You gonna try to holler at them?

238
00:15:34,366 --> 00:15:36,561
Man, l'm hollering
at both of the friends.

239
00:15:36,769 --> 00:15:38,361
- Both of them?
- Yeah, because l need that.

240
00:15:38,570 --> 00:15:41,562
You know, l need variety in my life.
l can't just have one girl.

241
00:15:41,774 --> 00:15:43,139
You know what l'm saying?
l need both.

242
00:15:43,342 --> 00:15:44,570
Hey.

243
00:15:44,777 --> 00:15:46,039
- What's up, baby?
- How you doing?

244
00:15:46,245 --> 00:15:49,408
Ladies, ladies, ladies. Y'all heard
about that two-for-one special, right?

245
00:15:50,282 --> 00:15:53,513
Two of you, one of me.
Now, that's special.

246
00:15:55,254 --> 00:15:57,415
- Please. Whatever, Worm.
- Yeah, special ed.

247
00:15:57,623 --> 00:15:59,215
- Get your arm off me.
- l like this fox.

248
00:15:59,425 --> 00:16:01,859
You working that chinchilla.
But, look, baby, me and you...

249
00:16:02,061 --> 00:16:05,622
You need to tell him to stop playing it
so close. She don't even like him.

250
00:16:07,066 --> 00:16:10,763
- Why not? Worm's the man.
- Worm is Worm.

251
00:16:13,372 --> 00:16:17,069
Anyway, l got something
for the baby today.

252
00:16:26,285 --> 00:16:29,277
We don't even know if it's a baby yet.
l mean, it's kind of early.

253
00:16:29,488 --> 00:16:31,183
You ain't even been
to the doctor yet.

254
00:16:31,390 --> 00:16:35,451
Hello? l passed the pregnancy test,
Kenyon. Three times.

255
00:16:42,568 --> 00:16:45,696
- These are kind of cute, though.
- l know, l got good taste, right?

256
00:16:45,904 --> 00:16:47,371
Yeah, all right.

257
00:16:48,340 --> 00:16:49,568
Precious little shoes.

258
00:16:49,775 --> 00:16:52,835
Well, l got a little
somethin'-somethin' for you too.

259
00:16:56,248 --> 00:16:57,738
Thank you.

260
00:16:58,317 --> 00:17:00,683
This definitely is a little something.

261
00:17:02,955 --> 00:17:06,083
- Where'd you get this?
- Don't sleep on the 99 Cent Store.

262
00:17:07,593 --> 00:17:08,821
Kenyon!

263
00:17:09,028 --> 00:17:11,292
- What? What's up?
- What are you doing? Give me!

264
00:17:11,497 --> 00:17:13,328
- Are you crazy?
- Are you crazy?

265
00:17:13,532 --> 00:17:15,090
You got that for 99 cents?
l've been there.

266
00:17:15,300 --> 00:17:18,235
You can get three brooms and a bucket
for 99 cents, with some toilet paper.

267
00:17:18,437 --> 00:17:21,372
That's like thread.
That's not even half a shoelace.

268
00:17:22,708 --> 00:17:25,108
Well, would you like to see me
in this shoelace?

269
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,105
Quick feet! Let me see quick feet!

270
00:17:30,315 --> 00:17:33,011
Touch the floor! Stay big! Stay big!

271
00:17:33,218 --> 00:17:35,846
Three push-ups and move.
One! Two! Three!

272
00:17:36,055 --> 00:17:37,852
Let's go. Explode!

273
00:17:38,057 --> 00:17:41,356
Let me hear you. Let me hear you!
Let me hear it.

274
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,755
Explode! Worm, explode!

275
00:17:43,962 --> 00:17:45,327
Touch the floor! Touch the floor!

276
00:17:45,531 --> 00:17:47,590
Give me five!
Just give me five! Push!

277
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,826
Push! Go! Go!
Let me hear you!

278
00:17:51,036 --> 00:17:54,233
Come on, close out!
Explode! Let's go!

279
00:17:56,475 --> 00:17:58,534
Sir, you're 20 minutes late.

280
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:05,141
That's ten suicides for the
whole team, 250 push-ups for you.

281
00:18:05,350 --> 00:18:06,783
This ain't the track team, man.

282
00:18:06,985 --> 00:18:09,419
Nor is it the debate team, Mr. Lyle.

283
00:18:09,621 --> 00:18:11,111
But you're right.

284
00:18:11,523 --> 00:18:15,459
And because you're right,
that's 20 suicides for the entire team

285
00:18:15,661 --> 00:18:17,822
and you get the privilege
of joining Mr. Battle

286
00:18:18,030 --> 00:18:20,863
- with 250 push-ups of your own.
- What, are you serious?

287
00:18:21,066 --> 00:18:22,829
- Yeah.
- This is bullshit!

288
00:18:24,837 --> 00:18:26,668
Good answer, Mr. Battle.

289
00:18:26,872 --> 00:18:28,396
Johnny, tell him what he's won.

290
00:18:28,607 --> 00:18:30,040
Because you gave
such a good answer

291
00:18:30,242 --> 00:18:31,766
and you gave the coach attitude,

292
00:18:31,977 --> 00:18:35,504
you win the bonus prize
of 500 push-ups!

293
00:18:35,981 --> 00:18:38,950
And would you like to go
for the grand prize of a thousand?

294
00:18:40,652 --> 00:18:42,381
No, sir.

295
00:18:43,922 --> 00:18:47,358
To the baseline!
On my whistle! Let's go!

296
00:18:47,559 --> 00:18:49,356
J.B., come on, baby.

297
00:18:49,895 --> 00:18:52,386
l can't even move, son.
Like, every muscle on my body hurts.

298
00:18:52,598 --> 00:18:55,533
- You can't say nothing to him.
- Why can't l say nothing to him?

299
00:18:56,535 --> 00:18:58,025
l'm a white boy? Man, what the--?

300
00:18:58,837 --> 00:19:01,328
Right here. Right here.
Get this dude right here. Get this dude.

301
00:19:01,673 --> 00:19:03,698
Where you going, homey?
Where you going, huh?

302
00:19:03,909 --> 00:19:05,069
- l ain't got shit.
- What?

303
00:19:05,277 --> 00:19:07,745
Please don't shoot me, man.
Go on, take my bag, dog!

304
00:19:07,946 --> 00:19:09,914
Run your shit, homey!

305
00:19:16,221 --> 00:19:18,382
That's some bullshit, Cruz!

306
00:19:18,590 --> 00:19:21,058
Yo, l'm gonna visit you in County, dog.

307
00:19:21,260 --> 00:19:23,956
l'm just playing, B.
Look at you!

308
00:19:24,930 --> 00:19:28,331
Damn! l seen y'all
walking from up the block

309
00:19:28,534 --> 00:19:31,025
like somebody put a pipe
in your asses.

310
00:19:31,803 --> 00:19:33,270
You all right, dog?

311
00:19:34,473 --> 00:19:36,100
Look, y'all wasn't winning with me,

312
00:19:36,308 --> 00:19:38,833
but y'all damn sure
look sad without me.

313
00:19:39,044 --> 00:19:41,103
But you know what?
l'm gonna watch y'all play.

314
00:19:41,313 --> 00:19:42,746
See y'all get your asses kicked.

315
00:19:42,948 --> 00:19:47,248
Yo! l'd love to shoot the shit with
you bitches all night, but l gotta go.

316
00:19:47,586 --> 00:19:49,747
- All right.
- Yo, who that, man?

317
00:19:49,955 --> 00:19:51,684
That's my cousin, Renny.

318
00:19:51,890 --> 00:19:53,448
l'm gonna check y'all.
Come on, let's go.

319
00:19:53,659 --> 00:19:55,593
Yo, Worm, you need a ride?

320
00:19:55,794 --> 00:19:57,159
- No, l'm straight, man.
- You sure?

321
00:19:57,362 --> 00:19:59,193
- Yeah, l'm good.
- All right, my nigga.

322
00:19:59,398 --> 00:20:01,593
- One love.
- All right, Lyle!

323
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,759
Don't let nobody else put a pipe
up your ass, or you might like it!

324
00:20:09,675 --> 00:20:12,610
Hey, you was scared, huh?
l wasn't scared.

325
00:20:13,011 --> 00:20:15,502
The state only requires
that they have a 2.0 average to play.

326
00:20:15,714 --> 00:20:17,204
Now, you got in here
they need a 2.3.

327
00:20:17,416 --> 00:20:20,715
lf you have a 2.0, you have to score
at least 1 050 on the SAT

328
00:20:20,919 --> 00:20:23,444
to be eligible
for an athletic scholarship.

329
00:20:23,722 --> 00:20:26,953
lf you have a 2.3,
you only need 950.

330
00:20:27,659 --> 00:20:29,820
Now, 2.3 is just a C-plus.

331
00:20:30,195 --> 00:20:33,028
lt shouldn't be that hard
to maintain a C-plus.

332
00:20:33,398 --> 00:20:35,593
These boys are student athletes.

333
00:20:36,101 --> 00:20:37,796
''Student'' comes first.

334
00:20:38,503 --> 00:20:41,495
lt says they gotta wear
coat and ties on game days.

335
00:20:41,707 --> 00:20:44,232
They don't own ties!
You gonna supply the ties?

336
00:20:44,443 --> 00:20:46,502
There's a Goodwill
and a Salvation Army store

337
00:20:46,712 --> 00:20:48,737
less than two blocks from here.

338
00:20:48,947 --> 00:20:51,415
They got a box full of ties
for 50 cents apiece.

339
00:20:51,617 --> 00:20:53,482
Yo, man, what you
trying to say, huh?

340
00:20:54,052 --> 00:20:57,146
Oh, we too good to shop at the
Goodwill and Salvation Army, is that it?

341
00:20:57,356 --> 00:20:59,756
- Yeah, l ain't that broke.
- This is crazy!

342
00:20:59,958 --> 00:21:02,859
A dress code and they have to sit
in the front row in class?

343
00:21:03,061 --> 00:21:07,828
- This is basketball, man!
- And basketball is a privilege, ma'am.

344
00:21:08,133 --> 00:21:10,966
lf you want to play basketball
on this team,

345
00:21:11,169 --> 00:21:13,899
these are the simple rules
you have to follow

346
00:21:14,106 --> 00:21:16,836
if you want to enjoy that privilege.

347
00:21:17,276 --> 00:21:20,370
Now, if you decide
to follow these simple rules,

348
00:21:20,712 --> 00:21:24,409
l need you and the boys
to sign this contract.

349
00:21:25,317 --> 00:21:28,548
They can bring the contracts
to practice tomorrow.

350
00:21:28,754 --> 00:21:30,654
lf you come to practice.

351
00:21:31,023 --> 00:21:34,049
l wanna thank you all for coming out
and showing your support,

352
00:21:34,259 --> 00:21:37,160
and l hope l have your support
the rest of the season.

353
00:21:38,497 --> 00:21:40,158
- Good night.
- Get up and leave like that?

354
00:21:40,365 --> 00:21:43,596
Look, l have a hard enough time
getting my nephew to...

355
00:21:45,304 --> 00:21:48,068
- How you gonna make them wear ties?
- l want the other coach back!

356
00:22:00,352 --> 00:22:04,379
lt's one of your contracts, sir.
l've amended that contract.

357
00:22:04,856 --> 00:22:07,848
You require your players
to maintain a 2.3 grade point average.

358
00:22:08,060 --> 00:22:10,688
l've committed to maintaining a 3.5.

359
00:22:10,962 --> 00:22:14,125
You require ten hours of community
service, and l've committed to 50.

360
00:22:14,333 --> 00:22:18,531
Any unexcused absences, any other
disciplinary issues at school,

361
00:22:18,737 --> 00:22:21,900
you can nullify this agreement
and send me to any school you want.

362
00:22:23,709 --> 00:22:26,143
And how many days do l have
to consider this offer?

363
00:22:26,345 --> 00:22:27,710
None.

364
00:22:27,913 --> 00:22:29,505
The second page
is a letter you need to sign

365
00:22:29,715 --> 00:22:31,808
that confirms my withdrawal
from St. Francis.

366
00:22:32,918 --> 00:22:34,442
- They know l'm leaving.
- What?

367
00:22:34,653 --> 00:22:37,178
- You withdrew from St. Francis?
- l called Richmond.

368
00:22:37,389 --> 00:22:40,119
- They expect me there in the morning.
- You called Richmond?

369
00:22:40,525 --> 00:22:42,322
You should have spoken to me
about this.

370
00:22:43,228 --> 00:22:45,662
lt was a personal choice for me.

371
00:22:49,401 --> 00:22:51,392
Well, l can fix all that in the morning.

372
00:22:52,304 --> 00:22:55,239
Sir, please listen.
All l wanna do is play for you.

373
00:22:55,907 --> 00:22:57,465
lf l'm one of the top students
at Richmond,

374
00:22:57,876 --> 00:23:01,243
l mean one of the top in the whole
school, and l have great SATs,

375
00:23:01,446 --> 00:23:03,778
l can go to any college
in the country.

376
00:23:04,249 --> 00:23:06,547
l'm asking you to trust me.

377
00:23:09,020 --> 00:23:10,920
You really wanna do this, huh?

378
00:23:16,495 --> 00:23:17,985
Okay.

379
00:23:18,697 --> 00:23:20,631
Part of growing up
is making your own decisions

380
00:23:20,832 --> 00:23:23,630
and living with the consequences.

381
00:23:28,306 --> 00:23:30,831
3.7.

382
00:23:31,443 --> 00:23:35,174
And you will earn every minute
of playing time.

383
00:23:38,483 --> 00:23:39,814
Open it, please.

384
00:23:40,685 --> 00:23:42,243
Morning, sir.

385
00:23:46,057 --> 00:23:49,356
My name is J. Lyle
They call me wild

386
00:23:50,328 --> 00:23:53,354
lt's all right
Kenyon's mom tonight

387
00:23:53,565 --> 00:23:55,658
- Say what?
- You might think l'm wrong

388
00:23:56,268 --> 00:23:58,065
But she's got these thongs

389
00:23:59,004 --> 00:24:01,802
Hey, yo, yo, yo.
lt's Malcolm X from St. Francis.

390
00:24:02,174 --> 00:24:03,641
- Hey, yo, Malcolm!
- Whatever.

391
00:24:03,842 --> 00:24:06,174
- What's up, man?
- What are you doing here, son?

392
00:24:06,812 --> 00:24:09,940
- l transferred to Richmond.
- Oh, no, son, l think you're just lost.

393
00:24:10,148 --> 00:24:12,616
Well, l am actually lost.
Can you tell me how to get to...?

394
00:24:12,818 --> 00:24:16,117
Bel Air? Hey, yo, Worm,
tell your man Fresh Prince here

395
00:24:16,321 --> 00:24:19,290
- how to get to his mansion.
- Fresh bitch.

396
00:24:22,694 --> 00:24:26,391
l hope seeing you in this hallway mean
l get to see you on the court today.

397
00:24:28,166 --> 00:24:31,693
l can't wait. With your five browns.

398
00:24:34,039 --> 00:24:35,404
Everybody up.

399
00:24:37,209 --> 00:24:39,803
Today we're going to play defense.

400
00:24:41,346 --> 00:24:42,836
Sorry, sir.

401
00:24:43,615 --> 00:24:47,016
Gentlemen, this is a new player,
Damien Carter.

402
00:24:47,586 --> 00:24:49,952
He is my son, and he is late.

403
00:24:50,155 --> 00:24:52,623
Sir, you owe me 20 suicides.

404
00:24:52,824 --> 00:24:54,621
Sir, it's my first day of school,
l had to stay--

405
00:24:54,826 --> 00:24:56,726
Basketball practice starts at 3.

406
00:24:57,095 --> 00:25:00,587
As of 2:55, you are late.
Get changed in the locker room.

407
00:25:00,799 --> 00:25:04,701
Do your suicides on the far side
of the court so as not to disturb us.

408
00:25:04,903 --> 00:25:07,235
All right, gentlemen,
give me two lines!

409
00:25:08,306 --> 00:25:11,901
Okay, young sirs, we're gonna
take it to the next level.

410
00:25:12,644 --> 00:25:15,272
Everything l knew about basketball,

411
00:25:15,881 --> 00:25:17,371
l learned from women.

412
00:25:18,550 --> 00:25:21,576
l have a sister, her name's Diane.

413
00:25:21,853 --> 00:25:26,017
She was always on my case
about every little thing.

414
00:25:26,258 --> 00:25:28,726
Matter of fact, she still is.

415
00:25:28,927 --> 00:25:32,226
''Turn down that radio!
You eat the last piece of cake?

416
00:25:32,430 --> 00:25:34,421
Did you drink all the Kool-Aid?''

417
00:25:35,367 --> 00:25:37,927
She was always in my face.

418
00:25:38,270 --> 00:25:40,295
So when l call ''Diane,''

419
00:25:40,505 --> 00:25:44,168
we're gonna play straight
man-to-man pressure defense.

420
00:25:49,047 --> 00:25:51,447
Worm! No, no, no, no, sir.

421
00:25:51,650 --> 00:25:52,912
Look at your defensive posture.

422
00:25:53,118 --> 00:25:56,451
Come on. Split your man.
Back straight, butt down.

423
00:25:56,655 --> 00:25:59,681
This hand guards against the passing
lane, this hand protects the crossover.

424
00:25:59,891 --> 00:26:02,689
All right? Palms up!
Get your head in the game.

425
00:26:03,662 --> 00:26:05,596
Now we have Delilah.

426
00:26:06,331 --> 00:26:08,196
She was my childhood sweetheart.

427
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:09,799
Sir, was she hot?

428
00:26:10,001 --> 00:26:14,597
Oh, yes, sir.
She was steaming hot.

429
00:26:16,508 --> 00:26:20,376
But she was the devil.
That girl was evil.

430
00:26:21,246 --> 00:26:23,680
l remember once she tricked me
into stealing brownies

431
00:26:23,882 --> 00:26:27,283
from Christ the King
First Baptist Church bake sale.

432
00:26:27,652 --> 00:26:29,643
She smiled
and got her way out of it,

433
00:26:29,854 --> 00:26:32,618
while l damn near had to wear
a pillow on my butt

434
00:26:32,824 --> 00:26:34,451
for a month
before l could sit down.

435
00:26:35,460 --> 00:26:38,293
Delilah, gentlemen.
She's our trap defense.

436
00:26:39,331 --> 00:26:42,926
Take notes, freshman. This is as
close as you gonna get to playing.

437
00:26:45,604 --> 00:26:48,767
Come on, come on. Move, move!
Delilah! Delilah! Delilah!

438
00:26:56,681 --> 00:26:58,945
Now, l know you're all
concerned that

439
00:26:59,150 --> 00:27:01,380
we didn't work
on our offense during practice.

440
00:27:01,586 --> 00:27:03,611
We have all season to do that.

441
00:27:03,822 --> 00:27:07,121
But what did we do in practice,
Mr. Stone?

442
00:27:07,892 --> 00:27:09,689
- Run.
- That's right.

443
00:27:09,894 --> 00:27:12,419
So, what do you think l want you
to do on offense tonight?

444
00:27:12,831 --> 00:27:15,026
- Run?
- Correct again.

445
00:27:15,233 --> 00:27:17,463
l want you to run.

446
00:27:17,669 --> 00:27:22,800
l want you to run every second
that clock is ticking, all game long.

447
00:27:28,313 --> 00:27:30,008
Put him back on the bench!

448
00:27:31,716 --> 00:27:35,482
Rebound! Rebound!
Let's go, let's go, let's go!

449
00:27:39,891 --> 00:27:41,449
Nice pass, baby!

450
00:27:43,595 --> 00:27:45,290
Push it! Push it!

451
00:27:46,231 --> 00:27:47,960
- Screen.
- Screen, baby. Screen. Screen.

452
00:27:48,466 --> 00:27:50,263
- Worm.
- Let's go, Worm.

453
00:27:57,876 --> 00:28:00,242
Stay alert! Pick him up right there!

454
00:28:00,445 --> 00:28:02,777
- Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah!
- What's the call, ref?

455
00:28:02,981 --> 00:28:05,779
White four, fifth.
He's out of the game.

456
00:28:05,984 --> 00:28:08,282
- Oh, ref, come--
- That's his fifth foul, coach.

457
00:28:08,486 --> 00:28:10,386
- Time, sir.
- Time out, white.

458
00:28:10,588 --> 00:28:13,079
Bad call, ref!
That was a jump ball, damn it!

459
00:28:13,291 --> 00:28:14,883
- Time out, white.
- Come on, fellas.

460
00:28:15,093 --> 00:28:17,653
Come on, huddle up. Hustle up.
Get over here.

461
00:28:17,862 --> 00:28:19,227
All right. Huddle up, huddle up.

462
00:28:19,431 --> 00:28:22,423
- Carter, you're in.
- But, coach, he a freshman.

463
00:28:22,634 --> 00:28:24,363
You wanna coach?

464
00:28:25,036 --> 00:28:28,267
All right, take a deep breath, guys.
Come on, deep breaths.

465
00:28:29,307 --> 00:28:31,104
- You tired?
- No, sir.

466
00:28:31,443 --> 00:28:33,104
Those guys are exhausted.

467
00:28:33,311 --> 00:28:35,176
That's why this guy's gonna miss
that free throw.

468
00:28:35,380 --> 00:28:38,406
When he does,
Worm and Lyle are our first option.

469
00:28:38,616 --> 00:28:41,949
Push the ball. Go hard to the hole.
Everybody attack the boards, got that?

470
00:28:42,153 --> 00:28:44,280
- Yes, sir.
- All right, Richmond on three.

471
00:28:44,789 --> 00:28:46,416
- One, two, three!
- Richmond!

472
00:28:46,624 --> 00:28:49,252
- All right, let's out, all right?
- Step it up, let's go!

473
00:28:49,461 --> 00:28:51,326
Look alive out there.

474
00:28:52,797 --> 00:28:55,925
All right, guys, you're in better shape
than they are. Push it.

475
00:28:58,136 --> 00:28:59,728
Box out, box out.

476
00:28:59,938 --> 00:29:01,303
One shot.

477
00:29:08,279 --> 00:29:09,610
Kenyon, right here. Kenyon!

478
00:29:09,881 --> 00:29:11,542
- Come on! Come on!
- Come on, baby!

479
00:29:20,658 --> 00:29:21,625
All right.

480
00:29:26,931 --> 00:29:28,523
Kenyon!

481
00:29:30,068 --> 00:29:31,899
- Worm!
- Yo, yo.

482
00:29:33,605 --> 00:29:34,970
Oh, yeah!

483
00:29:36,541 --> 00:29:38,532
Yeah! That's what l'm talking about!

484
00:29:45,617 --> 00:29:49,451
- Tight pass, baby. Nice pass, dog.
- lt was all you.

485
00:29:49,654 --> 00:29:50,951
A win like that don't mean nothing,

486
00:29:51,156 --> 00:29:52,748
because they can't play anyway,
you feel me?

487
00:29:56,194 --> 00:30:00,290
Okay, Shaq, so you dominated
down low tonight. Any thoughts?

488
00:30:01,132 --> 00:30:04,295
l dropped a 20-piece.
Kobe played his game.

489
00:30:04,502 --> 00:30:06,663
We the champions
till we ain't the champions no more.

490
00:30:06,871 --> 00:30:09,669
- Junior Battle.
- Undefeated until...

491
00:30:09,908 --> 00:30:11,603
Yo, man, on the real,

492
00:30:11,810 --> 00:30:13,675
that was the worst game
l've ever seen in my life.

493
00:30:13,878 --> 00:30:16,346
l thought that shit would never end.
l was dying in the bleachers.

494
00:30:16,548 --> 00:30:18,516
That's right, you were in
the bleachers, weren't you?

495
00:30:18,716 --> 00:30:20,274
We were on the court
handling our business.

496
00:30:20,485 --> 00:30:22,715
That's right. We 1 -0, bitch.

497
00:30:22,921 --> 00:30:26,516
Yo, on the real, Hercules is weak, B,
and y'all barely beat them.

498
00:30:26,724 --> 00:30:28,589
Damn, Timo,
why you throwing salt, man?

499
00:30:28,793 --> 00:30:31,455
We undefeated. Show us love, son.

500
00:30:31,663 --> 00:30:33,528
Yeah, that's right, we undefeated.

501
00:30:33,731 --> 00:30:35,722
l'll knock all y'all off.

502
00:31:07,165 --> 00:31:09,827
- Yo. l'll check y'all later, all right?
- All right.

503
00:31:10,034 --> 00:31:12,594
Yo. Let's do this.

504
00:31:20,545 --> 00:31:21,876
- What's up?
- Here's two bundles.

505
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,844
- All right.
- Yo, be careful. The block is hot.

506
00:31:25,049 --> 00:31:26,573
Yo, l got you.

507
00:31:28,553 --> 00:31:30,020
- How you doing, man?
- Chilling, man.

508
00:31:30,221 --> 00:31:32,086
You look good.

509
00:31:32,423 --> 00:31:33,617
Got some paper for you.

510
00:31:35,159 --> 00:31:38,185
Now we're talking, yeah.

511
00:31:41,566 --> 00:31:42,760
How you living, Timo?

512
00:31:44,235 --> 00:31:46,100
l'm good.

513
00:31:47,238 --> 00:31:49,832
- You all right? For real?
- Yeah.

514
00:31:51,242 --> 00:31:53,176
- Here, take some.
- l'm all right.

515
00:31:53,378 --> 00:31:56,347
No, no, no, take some, please.

516
00:31:56,915 --> 00:31:59,349
You did good, man.
You're doing good, bro.

517
00:32:02,053 --> 00:32:04,078
- Thank you.
- Don't thank me, thank you.

518
00:32:04,289 --> 00:32:05,881
You earned it.

519
00:32:09,594 --> 00:32:11,255
Take a nickel bag, okay?

520
00:32:12,196 --> 00:32:14,528
Go get yourself something, man.

521
00:32:17,101 --> 00:32:19,160
- l'm gonna see you?
- Yeah, next week.

522
00:32:19,370 --> 00:32:20,496
Okay, l'm gonna see you.

523
00:32:21,339 --> 00:32:23,239
- Keep it up.
- Yeah.

524
00:32:41,192 --> 00:32:43,057
Hey, Shaqua, Denise, holler at me.

525
00:32:43,561 --> 00:32:45,222
Rafeca, l see you looking.

526
00:32:45,430 --> 00:32:48,331
Ain't nobody
thinking about you, Worm.

527
00:32:48,533 --> 00:32:50,433
- Oh, okay.
- Gentlemen,

528
00:32:50,635 --> 00:32:52,569
let's review the Hercules game,
shall we?

529
00:32:52,770 --> 00:32:54,601
Yo, yell out my numbers, sir.

530
00:32:54,806 --> 00:32:58,037
Mr. Worm, you were five and four.

531
00:32:58,242 --> 00:33:00,437
No, sir. l had 1 2 points
and eight assists, sir.

532
00:33:00,645 --> 00:33:05,105
No, sir, Mr. Worm. You had five
turnovers and four missed free throws.

533
00:33:06,951 --> 00:33:09,283
Now, we're talking
about fundamentals here.

534
00:33:09,487 --> 00:33:14,049
Until we learn them, l'm adding
a practice every morning at 6 a.m.

535
00:33:14,258 --> 00:33:18,388
- Six a.m.?
- We shot 56 percent at--

536
00:33:20,164 --> 00:33:21,722
Mr. Cruz.

537
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:23,565
Are you lost, sir?

538
00:33:24,035 --> 00:33:25,229
What l gotta do to play?

539
00:33:25,436 --> 00:33:30,601
Mr. Cruz, you do not want to know
the answer to that question.

540
00:33:31,275 --> 00:33:33,004
Now, as l was saying,

541
00:33:33,211 --> 00:33:38,046
as a team,
we shot 56 percent from the line.

542
00:33:38,249 --> 00:33:41,047
From now on,
before you leave my gym,

543
00:33:41,252 --> 00:33:46,519
you must pay an exit price of 50
made free throws before you can go.

544
00:33:46,724 --> 00:33:48,555
- What?
- That's everybody.

545
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:50,887
- Come on.
- That's a lot of free throws.

546
00:33:53,765 --> 00:33:55,733
Okay, Mr. Cruz.

547
00:33:56,300 --> 00:33:58,234
Before you can play on this team...

548
00:33:59,170 --> 00:34:01,400
...you owe me...

549
00:34:03,741 --> 00:34:06,175
...2,500 push-ups...

550
00:34:06,377 --> 00:34:08,004
...and 1 ,000 suicides.

551
00:34:08,212 --> 00:34:09,907
- Damn.
- Damn.

552
00:34:13,017 --> 00:34:15,781
And they must be
completed by Friday.

553
00:34:15,987 --> 00:34:18,785
- He ain't finishing that by Friday.
- He ain't making that.

554
00:34:19,824 --> 00:34:22,918
Today's flavor: offense.

555
00:34:23,127 --> 00:34:25,095
- Now we talking.
- Now, l have a sister.

556
00:34:25,296 --> 00:34:27,457
Her name is Linda.

557
00:34:27,899 --> 00:34:31,130
Linda is smart, she's political.

558
00:34:31,335 --> 00:34:33,530
Well, actually, she's radical.

559
00:34:33,738 --> 00:34:36,468
Linda's got a big Afro.

560
00:34:36,674 --> 00:34:40,542
Linda is our pick-and-roll offense.

561
00:34:40,945 --> 00:34:43,072
Before we get into that,
let's warm up.

562
00:34:43,714 --> 00:34:45,341
Give me a lay-up line.

563
00:34:45,550 --> 00:34:47,450
- Let's go.
- All right.

564
00:34:47,652 --> 00:34:49,313
Let's do it.

565
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,250
- Damn, how many sisters he got?
- Who knows.

566
00:34:52,457 --> 00:34:54,288
- Come on, get two more over here.
- Break it out.

567
00:34:55,460 --> 00:34:57,826
- Let's go, guys.
- Energy, guys, energy.

568
00:34:58,029 --> 00:34:59,519
We got this, let's go.

569
00:34:59,730 --> 00:35:01,061
- l'm open.
- l got him, l got him.

570
00:35:01,265 --> 00:35:02,823
Right here, right here.
l'm open. l'm open.

571
00:35:03,034 --> 00:35:04,331
l'm sorry.

572
00:35:04,535 --> 00:35:05,559
- All right.
- Hey, hey, hey.

573
00:35:05,770 --> 00:35:06,862
- Come on.
- lt's not my fault.

574
00:35:07,071 --> 00:35:08,265
- He was early.
- Hey.

575
00:35:08,873 --> 00:35:11,137
Yes, it's important to move
without the ball,

576
00:35:11,342 --> 00:35:14,175
but you gotta be patient
on the weak-side screen.

577
00:35:14,378 --> 00:35:18,405
Set up your man
and come off his shoulder hard. Okay?

578
00:35:18,616 --> 00:35:20,743
Okay. Switch it up.

579
00:35:20,952 --> 00:35:23,386
We got it, come on.
Let's go. Let's get it.

580
00:35:23,588 --> 00:35:26,523
- And call out them picks.
- Yeah, yeah, all right.

581
00:35:28,426 --> 00:35:31,862
What is your deepest fear,
Mr. Cruz?

582
00:35:32,597 --> 00:35:34,622
That you're inadequate?

583
00:35:35,233 --> 00:35:36,598
Give up, Mr. Cruz.

584
00:35:38,503 --> 00:35:40,937
Go home.

585
00:35:44,809 --> 00:35:47,243
All right, l want seven passes
before you shoot.

586
00:35:47,445 --> 00:35:50,141
- Seven.
- All right.

587
00:35:50,615 --> 00:35:53,448
- l got him. l got him.
- Get that ball in there.

588
00:35:56,754 --> 00:35:59,552
You know your task is impossible
before Friday, right?

589
00:36:03,728 --> 00:36:05,127
Move.

590
00:36:05,329 --> 00:36:07,422
Work it, work it.

591
00:36:09,133 --> 00:36:10,998
Run it back.

592
00:36:34,025 --> 00:36:35,390
What time your mom getting home?

593
00:36:35,593 --> 00:36:37,356
She doesn't get off for another hour.

594
00:36:46,370 --> 00:36:48,235
Oh, that's Myles.

595
00:36:48,439 --> 00:36:50,236
What?

596
00:37:04,522 --> 00:37:07,514
Say, ''Hi, Uncle Kenyon.''

597
00:37:07,725 --> 00:37:09,488
Say, ''Hi.''

598
00:37:09,694 --> 00:37:10,956
All right, don't worry about it.

599
00:37:11,162 --> 00:37:13,722
He'll go back to sleep
right after his bottle.

600
00:37:13,931 --> 00:37:15,159
Right, boo-boo?

601
00:37:15,366 --> 00:37:17,732
Yeah, probably in time
for your mom to get home.

602
00:37:17,935 --> 00:37:20,403
Or when your cousin get back
from getting her hair fried and dyed,

603
00:37:20,605 --> 00:37:23,301
like she can afford all that shit.
lt's her baby anyway.

604
00:37:23,507 --> 00:37:26,704
Well, my mother had to work
a double shift,

605
00:37:26,911 --> 00:37:28,469
but they cut her overtime.

606
00:37:28,679 --> 00:37:30,977
And my cousin,
don't be trying to dis her.

607
00:37:31,182 --> 00:37:32,945
You said we'd be alone.
You call this alone?

608
00:37:33,184 --> 00:37:35,914
Well, that's why we need
our own spot.

609
00:37:39,523 --> 00:37:40,854
Did you turn this off?

610
00:37:41,058 --> 00:37:44,255
- Yeah, it was boiling.
- Oh, come on.

611
00:37:44,462 --> 00:37:46,327
Well, turn it down, not off.

612
00:37:46,530 --> 00:37:50,330
This is milk, butter and cheese.
We can't afford to waste this.

613
00:37:50,668 --> 00:37:52,863
And hold him up.

614
00:37:58,643 --> 00:38:02,511
Making the baby's bottle for Myles.

615
00:38:02,713 --> 00:38:04,613
All right, Myles, here we go.

616
00:38:04,815 --> 00:38:07,283
Gotta cool off a minute.

617
00:38:13,457 --> 00:38:15,982
Ever think about what you were
gonna do before you were pregnant?

618
00:38:16,627 --> 00:38:18,390
What you mean,
going to junior college?

619
00:38:18,596 --> 00:38:19,756
Yeah.

620
00:38:19,964 --> 00:38:22,489
l mean, yeah, l thought about it.

621
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,701
l could go later, l guess.

622
00:38:25,903 --> 00:38:28,565
You have to get some work
after you have the baby.

623
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:30,735
Me too.

624
00:38:31,108 --> 00:38:33,736
- So l'll work.
- How you gonna go to school?

625
00:38:33,944 --> 00:38:35,605
Why you asking me
all these questions?

626
00:38:35,813 --> 00:38:38,407
And you gotta put your hands
under his arm.

627
00:38:38,616 --> 00:38:41,449
You gotta sit him on your chest.
Hold him.

628
00:38:42,620 --> 00:38:45,054
- l am holding him.
- You ain't doing it right.

629
00:38:45,256 --> 00:38:46,746
You gotta soothe him, Kenyon.

630
00:38:46,957 --> 00:38:48,515
Look...

631
00:38:50,361 --> 00:38:52,226
l don't know how to do this.

632
00:38:53,331 --> 00:38:55,128
You'll get it.

633
00:38:55,866 --> 00:38:57,800
Right?

634
00:39:00,871 --> 00:39:04,773
Look, l gotta help my mom
with some stuff.

635
00:39:05,543 --> 00:39:08,341
- See you later, all right?
- All right.

636
00:39:10,915 --> 00:39:12,439
Call me later, okay?

637
00:39:12,817 --> 00:39:14,546
Later.

638
00:39:18,322 --> 00:39:19,880
All right, keep it riding on somebody.

639
00:39:20,091 --> 00:39:22,116
- Don't get lost in there.
- Move it. Move it.

640
00:39:23,928 --> 00:39:25,156
Stay with your man.

641
00:39:25,596 --> 00:39:28,030
- Box out, box out!
- Position.

642
00:39:30,434 --> 00:39:31,765
Guys...

643
00:39:32,103 --> 00:39:33,536
Up. Up.

644
00:39:33,738 --> 00:39:34,705
Hey, hey, hey.

645
00:39:34,905 --> 00:39:37,396
You don't get to your man, stand,
watch the ball.

646
00:39:37,608 --> 00:39:40,133
When the ball goes up,
get in good defensive position,

647
00:39:40,344 --> 00:39:43,279
get your body on your man
and explode to the ball.

648
00:39:43,481 --> 00:39:45,847
All right? Let's go.

649
00:39:46,050 --> 00:39:47,347
Run it. You got it.

650
00:39:47,551 --> 00:39:49,951
- Go on, do it.
- Forward pass. Forward pass.

651
00:39:50,154 --> 00:39:51,917
- Work it.
- There you go.

652
00:39:52,123 --> 00:39:55,320
Mrs. Fenton, the police are telling
a very different story.

653
00:39:55,526 --> 00:39:57,926
l wish you would.
Yes, ma'am, l'm here all week.

654
00:39:58,262 --> 00:40:00,230
Mr. Carter, how are the boys?

655
00:40:00,431 --> 00:40:02,831
Oh, they're great, ma'am. We're 1 -0.

656
00:40:03,033 --> 00:40:04,432
Very good.

657
00:40:04,635 --> 00:40:05,897
How may l help you?

658
00:40:06,737 --> 00:40:09,934
Well, l had my boys sign contracts

659
00:40:10,141 --> 00:40:12,803
requiring them to meet
certain academic standards.

660
00:40:13,277 --> 00:40:15,643
Yes, l believe one of the faculty
members mentioned that.

661
00:40:15,846 --> 00:40:17,711
Very interesting scare tactic.

662
00:40:19,383 --> 00:40:21,783
Well, in order for that
to be successful,

663
00:40:21,986 --> 00:40:24,648
l need their teachers to fill out
weekly progress reports

664
00:40:24,855 --> 00:40:27,915
so l'll know how the boys
are doing in their classrooms.

665
00:40:28,392 --> 00:40:30,826
- Okay.
- Well, l haven't received anything

666
00:40:31,028 --> 00:40:32,222
from their teachers.

667
00:40:35,299 --> 00:40:39,133
l don't see how this ties in to your job
as the basketball coach, Mr. Carter.

668
00:40:39,336 --> 00:40:43,204
Well, l took this job with the
understanding l could do it my way.

669
00:40:43,574 --> 00:40:44,802
And you can.

670
00:40:45,009 --> 00:40:46,772
Our next faculty meeting
is in two weeks.

671
00:40:46,977 --> 00:40:48,410
l'll remember to bring it up.

672
00:40:48,612 --> 00:40:52,241
Why, that would be great.
Thank you, ma'am.

673
00:40:53,517 --> 00:40:55,348
Thank you, sir.

674
00:40:57,855 --> 00:40:59,914
Bring it in, guys.

675
00:41:00,691 --> 00:41:02,124
Let's go, hustle up.

676
00:41:02,326 --> 00:41:04,123
Yo, bring it in, y'all.

677
00:41:05,429 --> 00:41:07,294
All right, that's it for today.

678
00:41:07,498 --> 00:41:10,262
We have a game tomorrow,
so get some rest tonight.

679
00:41:10,468 --> 00:41:14,905
And remember,
ties and jackets tomorrow.

680
00:41:15,806 --> 00:41:17,467
Clyde.

681
00:41:25,316 --> 00:41:26,840
Mr. Cruz.

682
00:41:29,119 --> 00:41:31,849
l'm impressed with
what you've done.

683
00:41:32,223 --> 00:41:34,589
But you came up short.

684
00:41:34,792 --> 00:41:37,590
You owe me 80 suicides
and 500 push-ups.

685
00:41:39,430 --> 00:41:41,660
Please leave my gym.

686
00:41:43,601 --> 00:41:45,159
Thanks, Clyde.

687
00:41:45,469 --> 00:41:47,903
Gentlemen, see you tomorrow.

688
00:41:51,108 --> 00:41:52,370
l'll do push-ups for him.

689
00:41:58,249 --> 00:41:59,739
You said we're a team.

690
00:42:00,918 --> 00:42:03,614
One person struggles,
we all struggle.

691
00:42:04,221 --> 00:42:06,849
One player triumphs,
we all triumph, right?

692
00:42:23,474 --> 00:42:24,998
l'll do some.

693
00:42:25,609 --> 00:42:27,770
l'll run suicides too.

694
00:43:04,248 --> 00:43:06,148
l'll do some too.

695
00:43:13,057 --> 00:43:15,287
Clyde, keep count.

696
00:43:17,528 --> 00:43:19,462
Call me when they're done.

697
00:43:23,968 --> 00:43:26,061
Defense! Defense!

698
00:43:26,270 --> 00:43:28,329
Push it. Push it. Move, move!

699
00:43:28,539 --> 00:43:29,801
Let's go.

700
00:43:30,574 --> 00:43:31,666
Ball, ball, ball.

701
00:43:33,143 --> 00:43:35,008
Ball, ball, ball.

702
00:43:35,646 --> 00:43:37,170
- Yeah!
- Go.

703
00:43:40,417 --> 00:43:42,146
Move your feet, move your feet.

704
00:43:42,820 --> 00:43:44,310
Go, defense. Go.

705
00:43:45,189 --> 00:43:46,747
Good job. Good job.

706
00:43:46,957 --> 00:43:48,151
- Worm.
- White ball.

707
00:43:48,359 --> 00:43:52,523
Palms up, move your feet, right?
Come out. Come out. Come out.

708
00:43:52,730 --> 00:43:54,220
- Mr. Cruz!
- Good game, boy.

709
00:43:57,368 --> 00:43:58,995
Hey, hey.

710
00:43:59,637 --> 00:44:02,231
What is your deepest fear,
young man?

711
00:44:04,475 --> 00:44:05,601
Go on.

712
00:44:06,410 --> 00:44:09,277
Why he keep saying that, ''What's
your deepest fear?'' What that mean?

713
00:44:10,481 --> 00:44:12,449
Come on, let's go.
Let's go. Let's go.

714
00:44:12,650 --> 00:44:15,517
Move. Move. Move.

715
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:17,550
No, one more pass.

716
00:44:25,729 --> 00:44:27,060
Hands up.

717
00:45:14,011 --> 00:45:15,205
Three points, Cruz!

718
00:45:17,448 --> 00:45:20,212
What the hell are you doing, Cruz?
You allergic to lay-ups?

719
00:45:20,417 --> 00:45:22,681
You do that again and you're going
to be glued to the bench.

720
00:45:26,757 --> 00:45:28,520
- Swing it.
- Right here.

721
00:45:33,831 --> 00:45:35,230
Come on, last kick.

722
00:45:35,432 --> 00:45:37,923
Kick it in. Kick it in. Let's go.

723
00:45:46,610 --> 00:45:48,874
You can't guard me, can you?
What you gonna do?

724
00:45:49,079 --> 00:45:51,309
- Can't do nothing about it, can you?
- Delilah. Delilah.

725
00:45:51,515 --> 00:45:53,881
Come on, come on, come on.

726
00:45:54,084 --> 00:45:56,575
- Shot.
- Yeah, Jason.

727
00:46:00,324 --> 00:46:01,382
Kenyon, pose for me.

728
00:46:02,526 --> 00:46:05,086
- Smile.
- Kenyon! Maddux! Get back!

729
00:46:05,295 --> 00:46:07,456
Just play the damn game.

730
00:46:08,165 --> 00:46:10,258
Linda, Linda, Linda!

731
00:46:12,369 --> 00:46:14,837
There he is. Yeah.

732
00:46:15,038 --> 00:46:17,939
That's me, baby.
That's me. l did that.

733
00:46:18,142 --> 00:46:20,542
l drew that up. Yeah.

734
00:46:21,812 --> 00:46:23,074
Run it again.

735
00:46:24,148 --> 00:46:27,379
All right, 1 -4, 1 -4.
Linda, Linda, Linda!

736
00:46:31,955 --> 00:46:35,083
All day, baby. All day!
Can't stop that.

737
00:46:35,292 --> 00:46:37,192
Can't stop that!

738
00:46:38,328 --> 00:46:42,287
- Hey, coach, your shoe's untied, sir.
- Thank you, Mr. Worm.

739
00:46:45,435 --> 00:46:47,665
Look at that bow. Look at that.

740
00:46:47,871 --> 00:46:50,601
l tied that. l tied that shit.

741
00:46:50,808 --> 00:46:52,776
Can l get something on the bow?
Let me get some.

742
00:46:53,744 --> 00:46:55,211
Are you crazy?

743
00:46:55,779 --> 00:46:57,770
What is wrong with you?

744
00:46:58,015 --> 00:47:00,313
What's wrong with all of you?

745
00:47:00,751 --> 00:47:04,050
Since when is winning not enough?

746
00:47:04,254 --> 00:47:07,621
Playing hard not enough?

747
00:47:08,058 --> 00:47:11,494
No, you have to humiliate
your opponent.

748
00:47:11,695 --> 00:47:14,493
Taunt him after every score.

749
00:47:14,965 --> 00:47:17,433
You won four games last season.

750
00:47:17,634 --> 00:47:18,828
Four.

751
00:47:19,036 --> 00:47:22,267
What gives you the right
to taint the game that l love

752
00:47:22,472 --> 00:47:25,168
with trash talk and taunting?

753
00:47:25,375 --> 00:47:28,674
What gives you the right to wear
Richmond on your chests

754
00:47:28,879 --> 00:47:29,971
and act like punks?

755
00:47:30,180 --> 00:47:32,614
- Coach, they were jawing too.
- So?

756
00:47:32,816 --> 00:47:34,443
You can't show some class?

757
00:47:34,651 --> 00:47:37,085
Act like a champion?

758
00:47:40,057 --> 00:47:42,753
You owe me 500 push-ups apiece.

759
00:47:43,293 --> 00:47:45,659
On the line. Now.

760
00:47:45,863 --> 00:47:48,855
- Damn.
- Oh, man, come on.

761
00:48:05,082 --> 00:48:08,017
Listen, shorty, l'm just gonna be real
with you, okay?

762
00:48:08,218 --> 00:48:10,379
You're my girl.

763
00:48:10,587 --> 00:48:13,988
l get out on that court
and everything is just getting crazy,

764
00:48:14,191 --> 00:48:16,921
all l gotta do is just think about you.

765
00:48:17,127 --> 00:48:18,321
Mr. Lyle.

766
00:48:18,629 --> 00:48:21,393
Why aren't you in...

767
00:48:22,466 --> 00:48:25,230
- ...geometry?
- l'm going there right now, sir.

768
00:48:26,069 --> 00:48:27,934
- Sir, this is Betty.
- Bella.

769
00:48:28,138 --> 00:48:30,003
Bella. Bella. This is Bella, sir.

770
00:48:30,207 --> 00:48:31,799
Go to class.

771
00:48:36,914 --> 00:48:40,350
Don't forget that these projects
are due at the end of this week.

772
00:48:40,550 --> 00:48:43,781
- So if any of you need extra time--
- Excuse me, sir. Are you Mr. Gesek?

773
00:48:43,987 --> 00:48:46,080
- Yes.
- l...

774
00:48:47,057 --> 00:48:49,389
...don't see Junior Battle
in this class.

775
00:48:49,593 --> 00:48:52,494
Junior Battle is like a solar eclipse.

776
00:48:52,696 --> 00:48:56,689
We rarely see him, but when we do,
it's always special.

777
00:48:58,802 --> 00:49:00,235
Thank you.

778
00:49:01,972 --> 00:49:04,964
''Surprise arrival to the poll
is Richmond High at 1 9th.''

779
00:49:05,175 --> 00:49:07,871
- Top 20, baby.
- We're 1 9th, dog.

780
00:49:08,078 --> 00:49:10,342
''The Oilers have posted
a perfect 9-0 mark,

781
00:49:10,547 --> 00:49:12,538
winning on the road against
perennial powerhouses

782
00:49:12,749 --> 00:49:14,148
Xavier and Baxter Union.''

783
00:49:18,322 --> 00:49:19,846
Junior, you should read
the rest of this.

784
00:49:20,057 --> 00:49:21,854
They blowing you up
in this paper.

785
00:49:22,793 --> 00:49:25,421
- Come on, man, read it.
- Man, you know he can't read.

786
00:49:25,629 --> 00:49:28,325
- Man, shut up.
- Shut up, Maddux.

787
00:49:29,900 --> 00:49:34,963
''Richmond center has been big
as the Oilers are 'boyed.'''

788
00:49:35,172 --> 00:49:39,108
Buoyed. The word is ''buoyed.''

789
00:49:40,143 --> 00:49:44,773
''Buoyed by Junior Battle's
1 9.8-rebound-a-night numbers.''

790
00:49:45,449 --> 00:49:48,646
See, that's my big nigga
right there, son. Hey.

791
00:49:48,852 --> 00:49:51,320
lf you was any bigger,
you'd be my bigger nigga.

792
00:49:53,490 --> 00:49:54,980
Sit down. Sit down!

793
00:50:03,767 --> 00:50:10,331
''Nigger'' is a derogatory term
used to insult our ancestors.

794
00:50:11,274 --> 00:50:14,402
See, if a white man used it,
you'd be ready to fight.

795
00:50:14,611 --> 00:50:17,444
Your using it teaches him to use it.

796
00:50:17,647 --> 00:50:20,639
You're saying it's cool.
Well, it's not cool.

797
00:50:20,851 --> 00:50:23,115
And when you're around me,
l don't wanna hear that shit.

798
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:25,880
- We clear?
- Yes, sir.

799
00:50:26,089 --> 00:50:27,522
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.

800
00:50:27,724 --> 00:50:29,021
Yes, sir.

801
00:50:30,827 --> 00:50:32,454
Mr. Worm,

802
00:50:32,662 --> 00:50:35,130
what is it you want
out of this basketball season?

803
00:50:35,665 --> 00:50:38,964
To win that state championship, sir.

804
00:50:40,604 --> 00:50:44,199
Well, who won the state basketball
championship last season, Lyle?

805
00:50:44,674 --> 00:50:46,471
Hell if l know, sir.

806
00:50:47,477 --> 00:50:48,842
Does anybody know?

807
00:50:51,948 --> 00:50:53,438
Okay.

808
00:50:53,917 --> 00:50:56,511
What's your father do for a living,
Mr. Lyle?

809
00:51:00,424 --> 00:51:02,892
My father's in jail, sir.

810
00:51:06,430 --> 00:51:08,557
Well, l'm sorry to hear that, sir.

811
00:51:08,765 --> 00:51:11,290
But that doesn't have to be your life.

812
00:51:12,602 --> 00:51:14,069
My point's this:

813
00:51:14,271 --> 00:51:16,603
l have four seniors on this team,

814
00:51:16,807 --> 00:51:19,776
Junior, Lyle, Kenyon and Worm.

815
00:51:19,976 --> 00:51:23,742
All of whom l think can play
basketball at the college level.

816
00:51:24,014 --> 00:51:25,311
College.

817
00:51:26,383 --> 00:51:29,284
That's a viable option for all of you.

818
00:51:29,686 --> 00:51:33,622
But you have to perform in the
classroom to have that chance.

819
00:51:34,591 --> 00:51:36,354
You have to have a vision.

820
00:51:37,461 --> 00:51:41,488
Tell me, how do you
see yourselves?

821
00:51:43,667 --> 00:51:46,192
ESPN, baby.

822
00:51:46,603 --> 00:51:48,969
That reminds me, Mr. Battle.

823
00:51:49,172 --> 00:51:53,666
Mr. Gesek tells me he doesn't
see you in his classroom very often.

824
00:51:54,144 --> 00:51:56,669
Yeah, we cool, though, me and him.

825
00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:58,871
Mr. Gesek is a big basketball fan.

826
00:52:00,617 --> 00:52:02,585
Well, as of now, you're suspended.

827
00:52:02,786 --> 00:52:04,583
Oh, you can practice,
but you can't play

828
00:52:04,788 --> 00:52:08,383
until Mr. Gesek tells me
you're caught up in his class.

829
00:52:08,592 --> 00:52:11,026
And that's a shout out
to the rest of you.

830
00:52:11,228 --> 00:52:12,627
You signed a contract.

831
00:52:12,829 --> 00:52:14,524
You made a commitment.

832
00:52:14,731 --> 00:52:17,928
Now, l have your schedules and l'll be
getting reports from your teachers.

833
00:52:18,502 --> 00:52:22,336
lf you don't perform in the
classroom, you will not play.

834
00:52:23,106 --> 00:52:24,937
What's up with that?

835
00:52:25,308 --> 00:52:27,139
Sit down, Mr. Battle.

836
00:52:29,679 --> 00:52:32,546
All right, that's 500 push-ups.

837
00:52:34,251 --> 00:52:38,119
Man, this is bullshit!
We won those games, not you.

838
00:52:38,321 --> 00:52:41,381
That's 1 ,000 push-ups
for Mr. Battle, Clyde.

839
00:52:41,591 --> 00:52:43,752
You wanna try for 2,000?

840
00:53:00,277 --> 00:53:06,147
Young man, think about the choice
you're making if you walk out that door.

841
00:53:14,758 --> 00:53:16,749
To the baseline.

842
00:53:19,863 --> 00:53:24,027
All right. How about LaQuisha,
if it's a girl.

843
00:53:24,234 --> 00:53:28,728
LaQuisha? Okay, yeah, the ghetto
called and they want they name back.

844
00:53:28,939 --> 00:53:31,032
Girl, LaQuisha? Be for real.

845
00:53:31,241 --> 00:53:33,539
You might as well call the baby
Food Stamp.

846
00:53:33,743 --> 00:53:35,335
You're stupid.

847
00:53:35,545 --> 00:53:40,073
All right, l was thinking
l could call her Harmony.

848
00:53:40,283 --> 00:53:43,218
- l like Harmony.
- Harmony, oh, that's good. l like that.

849
00:53:43,420 --> 00:53:46,685
- What did Kenyon say?
- Please, he want a boy.

850
00:53:46,890 --> 00:53:49,256
- Figures.
- Speaking of Michael Jordan...

851
00:53:49,459 --> 00:53:50,858
Yo, what's wrong with a girl?

852
00:53:51,194 --> 00:53:54,686
Yeah, dog, boys grow into men,
and men ain't worth the trouble.

853
00:53:54,898 --> 00:53:57,264
Don't you have someplace to go?
Something to do?

854
00:53:58,368 --> 00:54:01,132
Guess he wants me all to himself.

855
00:54:01,338 --> 00:54:02,362
See you later.

856
00:54:02,572 --> 00:54:04,233
Don't forget,
l need your notes for history.

857
00:54:04,441 --> 00:54:07,638
- All right, l got you.
- Yeah. See you later.

858
00:54:09,713 --> 00:54:11,772
l bought us tickets to the dance.

859
00:54:12,616 --> 00:54:15,016
Why you telling these
loudmouth girls about the baby?

860
00:54:15,218 --> 00:54:17,152
Now everybody's gonna know.

861
00:54:17,354 --> 00:54:18,912
People are gonna know, Kenyon.

862
00:54:19,456 --> 00:54:22,289
- lt's not people's business, Kyra.
- Why you jumping down my throat?

863
00:54:22,492 --> 00:54:23,925
What's wrong with you?

864
00:54:24,961 --> 00:54:29,261
Look, me and coach been talking,
and he thinks l can play college ball.

865
00:54:29,466 --> 00:54:30,490
All right, so?

866
00:54:31,368 --> 00:54:33,893
So how am l gonna do that
and raise a baby?

867
00:54:36,673 --> 00:54:40,131
l don't know. l mean,
l'm not saying it won't be hard.

868
00:54:40,877 --> 00:54:42,742
Hard? lt's already hard.

869
00:54:42,946 --> 00:54:44,504
The kid ain't even here yet
and l'm worried

870
00:54:44,714 --> 00:54:47,842
about how l'm gonna feed it,
how l'm gonna pay for this and that.

871
00:54:48,318 --> 00:54:49,512
Everything.

872
00:54:49,886 --> 00:54:51,877
- l'm not ready.
- So, what are you saying?

873
00:54:52,088 --> 00:54:55,182
You want out?
ls that what you're saying?

874
00:54:55,392 --> 00:54:56,859
Go ahead and say it.

875
00:54:57,060 --> 00:54:59,893
Look, if l wanted to be out,
l would've been out by now, Kyra.

876
00:55:00,096 --> 00:55:01,791
That's not it at all. l love you.

877
00:55:02,198 --> 00:55:03,392
l wanna be with you.

878
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:05,625
Yeah, as long as it's convenient.

879
00:55:05,835 --> 00:55:07,200
l'm thinking about
what's best for us.

880
00:55:07,404 --> 00:55:09,634
You're not trying to think about
what's best for both of us,

881
00:55:09,839 --> 00:55:11,431
you're thinking about
what's best for you.

882
00:55:11,841 --> 00:55:15,277
You don't want me to have this baby.
You wanna leave Richmond.

883
00:55:15,478 --> 00:55:18,311
You wanna go play college ball.
So guess what?

884
00:55:18,515 --> 00:55:22,417
We ain't got to be ready enough
for nothing, all right?

885
00:55:22,952 --> 00:55:25,546
l'm ready enough to do what
l gotta do all by my damn self.

886
00:55:25,755 --> 00:55:28,724
So you can take these
and go to the dance yourself.

887
00:55:31,828 --> 00:55:32,988
Progress reports?
You're the basketball coach.

888
00:55:33,196 --> 00:55:35,687
Look, ma'am, we talked about this.
l don't see what the problem is.

889
00:55:35,899 --> 00:55:37,423
Do you know what the APl is,
Mr. Carter?

890
00:55:37,634 --> 00:55:38,965
No, l don't.

891
00:55:39,169 --> 00:55:40,830
The Academic Performance lndex.

892
00:55:41,037 --> 00:55:44,063
They judge schools on a scale
of one to ten, ten being the best.

893
00:55:44,274 --> 00:55:46,708
Do you have any idea
where Richmond falls on that scale?

894
00:55:46,910 --> 00:55:48,172
No, ma'am, l have no idea.

895
00:55:48,378 --> 00:55:51,108
We're a one, Mr. Carter, and have
been for the last seven years.

896
00:55:51,314 --> 00:55:53,282
The state rewards schools
for their performance.

897
00:55:53,483 --> 00:55:55,849
So every year l have less money
to pay faculty and staff.

898
00:55:56,052 --> 00:55:58,987
- Look, ma'am--
- Can l ask what it is you want?

899
00:55:59,189 --> 00:56:01,180
- l want my boys to go to college.
- College?

900
00:56:01,391 --> 00:56:04,053
Mr. Carter, Richmond graduates
50 percent of its students,

901
00:56:04,260 --> 00:56:05,557
the higher percentage being girls.

902
00:56:05,762 --> 00:56:08,629
Now, in my very educated opinion,
you have 1 5 players on your team,

903
00:56:08,832 --> 00:56:10,561
you'll be lucky to graduate
five of them.

904
00:56:10,767 --> 00:56:12,564
l'm sorry, ma'am,
but l don't agree with you.

905
00:56:12,769 --> 00:56:15,567
Look, these boys signed contracts.
Maybe if you'd read one of them--

906
00:56:15,772 --> 00:56:18,240
Your job is to win basketball games,
Mr. Carter.

907
00:56:18,441 --> 00:56:23,071
- l suggest you start doing your job.
- And your job is to educate these kids.

908
00:56:23,279 --> 00:56:26,874
l suggest you start doing yours.

909
00:56:39,963 --> 00:56:41,590
Well...

910
00:56:42,165 --> 00:56:44,156
...we had another good week.

911
00:56:44,367 --> 00:56:47,700
Yeah, business is very good, Kenny.

912
00:56:48,438 --> 00:56:50,770
But l'm on my own.
You're never here.

913
00:56:50,974 --> 00:56:53,670
- lt gets crazy.
- Look, l appreciate everything you do.

914
00:56:53,877 --> 00:56:55,970
And l promise you-- We're closed.

915
00:56:56,179 --> 00:56:58,739
--as soon as the season is over,
l will be here for you.

916
00:56:58,948 --> 00:57:00,381
Mr. Carter?

917
00:57:00,650 --> 00:57:02,174
- l'm--
- Junior Battle's mother.

918
00:57:02,385 --> 00:57:03,943
Yes, ma'am, l remember you.

919
00:57:04,154 --> 00:57:06,816
Willa. Willa Battle.

920
00:57:08,191 --> 00:57:09,385
How may l help you, ma'am?

921
00:57:09,592 --> 00:57:10,991
Mr. Carter, l got a phone call today

922
00:57:11,194 --> 00:57:13,890
from a coach at a junior college
in Sacramento.

923
00:57:14,097 --> 00:57:16,122
Now, they wanna see
Junior play this Friday.

924
00:57:16,332 --> 00:57:18,664
Well, that's great, ma'am,
but Junior broke some rules--

925
00:57:18,868 --> 00:57:20,392
And l agree with them.

926
00:57:20,603 --> 00:57:23,163
l'm not here to argue
with your rules.

927
00:57:23,373 --> 00:57:24,965
l'm not.

928
00:57:27,811 --> 00:57:30,245
Almost two years ago now,

929
00:57:30,613 --> 00:57:34,743
Junior's older brother, Anton, was...

930
00:57:35,418 --> 00:57:40,754
...killed, and it's been confusing
and hard for me and for Junior.

931
00:57:41,858 --> 00:57:44,122
After you lose a son...

932
00:57:45,261 --> 00:57:50,255
...every time the phone rings,
your heart stops.

933
00:57:52,235 --> 00:57:54,760
Now, l'm not asking
for special attention.

934
00:57:54,971 --> 00:57:58,566
l agree he needs to get straight
with his classes.

935
00:57:59,108 --> 00:58:02,805
But the idea of junior college
had never even occurred to my son.

936
00:58:03,012 --> 00:58:06,880
Now, l could move to the Hercules
school district, and he could play there.

937
00:58:07,083 --> 00:58:11,816
- But moving is not gonna solve--
- But l want him to play for you.

938
00:58:13,456 --> 00:58:14,821
Look, l'm not gonna stand here

939
00:58:15,024 --> 00:58:18,551
and say l know how it feels
to lose a son, because l don't.

940
00:58:19,395 --> 00:58:23,627
And l do appreciate you
putting your trust in me.

941
00:58:24,767 --> 00:58:26,632
But l need to hear that from Junior.

942
00:58:27,003 --> 00:58:28,766
He in the car.

943
00:58:33,910 --> 00:58:35,275
Junior!

944
00:58:46,122 --> 00:58:47,646
Go on.

945
00:58:53,029 --> 00:58:55,327
l'm sorry for what l said and did
at practice,

946
00:58:55,532 --> 00:58:58,626
and l promise to get caught up
with my classes, sir.

947
00:59:03,806 --> 00:59:06,138
Look me in the eye, sir.

948
00:59:10,980 --> 00:59:13,778
Everything inside me tells me
if l take you back,

949
00:59:13,983 --> 00:59:16,543
l'd be making a mistake
and you'll make a fool of me.

950
00:59:16,753 --> 00:59:18,653
No, sir.

951
00:59:21,291 --> 00:59:23,156
You owe me 1 ,000 push-ups

952
00:59:23,359 --> 00:59:26,021
and 1 ,000 suicides
before you can play.

953
00:59:26,396 --> 00:59:28,864
l'll see you at practice tomorrow.

954
00:59:31,100 --> 00:59:32,931
Thank you, sir.

955
00:59:42,011 --> 00:59:43,774
And you gonna do
every last one of them.

956
00:59:44,013 --> 00:59:46,038
Quitting basketball like you pay rent.

957
00:59:46,249 --> 00:59:47,648
l don't know who you think you are.

958
00:59:47,850 --> 00:59:51,217
The next time you make a decision,
you better ask me first.

959
00:59:51,521 --> 00:59:53,887
Yo, Junior,
you did your thing tonight, man.

960
00:59:54,090 --> 00:59:56,718
- Good looking out, yo.
- Yeah, good shot, Junior.

961
00:59:56,926 --> 00:59:59,520
- Yeah, no doubt.
- Gentlemen, listen up.

962
00:59:59,996 --> 01:00:04,194
l just received a call from the director
of the Bayhill Holiday Tournament.

963
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:06,732
You have been invited.

964
01:00:06,936 --> 01:00:09,427
- Yeah!
- Yeah, baby!

965
01:00:13,543 --> 01:00:15,306
Now, l have more good news.

966
01:00:15,511 --> 01:00:17,604
l spoke to Principal Garrison today.

967
01:00:17,814 --> 01:00:21,682
She informs me that your teachers will
have your academic-progress reports

968
01:00:21,884 --> 01:00:23,784
prepared by the end
of holiday break.

969
01:00:23,987 --> 01:00:25,477
Sir, our grades are tight, yo.

970
01:00:25,822 --> 01:00:27,551
Yo, not only are our grades
all right, coach,

971
01:00:27,757 --> 01:00:30,419
- but we undefeated, homeboy.
- Yeah!

972
01:00:31,828 --> 01:00:34,854
We undefeated
We undefeated

973
01:00:35,064 --> 01:00:39,296
We undefeated
We undefeated

974
01:00:39,502 --> 01:00:43,302
We undefeated
We undefeated

975
01:00:45,108 --> 01:00:48,600
Big ups to everybody who came out to
the Richmond High winter dance, y'all!

976
01:00:48,811 --> 01:00:50,369
Get down!

977
01:01:12,935 --> 01:01:15,768
So give it up for the new
kings of Richmond, y'all!

978
01:01:15,972 --> 01:01:17,837
Yeah! Give it up, baby!

979
01:01:18,041 --> 01:01:19,975
Yo, we 1 2-0, y'all,
and l just wanna say

980
01:01:20,176 --> 01:01:22,838
l wanna see all the beautiful people
up at that tournament.

981
01:01:23,046 --> 01:01:24,570
You know!

982
01:01:24,781 --> 01:01:27,545
Y'all gonna wanna see the look on
the faces of them rich fancy-schoolers

983
01:01:27,750 --> 01:01:29,479
when the Richmond Oilers
roll into town.

984
01:01:29,686 --> 01:01:31,916
Holla!

985
01:02:52,301 --> 01:02:54,633
Kyra, what are you thinking?
You can't drink!

986
01:02:54,837 --> 01:02:56,634
- You're pregnant, girl.
- Stop.

987
01:02:56,839 --> 01:02:58,067
lt's soda, all right?

988
01:02:58,274 --> 01:03:00,071
So why don't you just go
back downstairs

989
01:03:00,276 --> 01:03:02,141
and find one of your little girlies
to freak with.

990
01:03:02,345 --> 01:03:04,575
lt ain't even like that.
Some girl just danced up on me.

991
01:03:04,781 --> 01:03:06,442
- That ain't shit.
- Whatever.

992
01:03:06,649 --> 01:03:08,549
You shouldn't be here.
lf you're serious about this,

993
01:03:08,751 --> 01:03:10,548
you need to check this bullshit.
Because if not--

994
01:03:10,753 --> 01:03:13,984
lf not, what, Kenyon? You wanna hold
my hand through an abortion?

995
01:03:14,190 --> 01:03:16,158
- ls that what you want?
- l don't know what l want.

996
01:03:16,359 --> 01:03:17,883
You so damn sure you wanna
have this baby,

997
01:03:18,094 --> 01:03:19,584
why don't you tell me how
it's gonna be.

998
01:03:20,263 --> 01:03:21,491
Everything's great, right?

999
01:03:21,697 --> 01:03:24,325
Your cousin is 1 9 with two kids
already, Kyra.

1000
01:03:24,534 --> 01:03:25,899
lt's great?

1001
01:03:26,102 --> 01:03:27,967
lt was great when we
was getting down.

1002
01:03:28,171 --> 01:03:29,866
You ain't having no second
thoughts about that.

1003
01:03:30,072 --> 01:03:32,370
You loved me
when it came to that.

1004
01:03:34,377 --> 01:03:36,504
Look, Kyra, l can't tell you
what to do,

1005
01:03:36,946 --> 01:03:39,710
but l look around and l see exactly
how l don't wanna live.

1006
01:03:39,916 --> 01:03:41,213
Paycheck to paycheck?

1007
01:03:41,417 --> 01:03:42,907
Dead-end job?

1008
01:03:43,119 --> 01:03:45,451
You make it seem like everything's
gonna be all good,

1009
01:03:45,655 --> 01:03:47,919
like everything's so wonderful.

1010
01:03:48,891 --> 01:03:51,189
You don't care about me.

1011
01:03:51,828 --> 01:03:55,559
You just wanna go to college,
play ball and forget about me.

1012
01:03:55,898 --> 01:03:58,298
- Kyra, that's not even how it is.
- l don't care what you say.

1013
01:03:58,501 --> 01:04:01,402
- l'm having this baby.
- And then what?

1014
01:04:01,604 --> 01:04:03,071
You got everything figured out, right?

1015
01:04:03,873 --> 01:04:06,171
So tell me what comes next.

1016
01:04:32,134 --> 01:04:35,535
The third and final day of
the 22nd Bayhill Tournament

1017
01:04:35,738 --> 01:04:37,797
finds the host team, Bayhill,

1018
01:04:38,007 --> 01:04:42,171
trying to win the championship against
the surprising Richmond Oilers.

1019
01:04:42,378 --> 01:04:43,777
Defense! Defense!

1020
01:04:43,980 --> 01:04:45,379
Get your hands up!

1021
01:04:50,853 --> 01:04:52,582
Get that ball!

1022
01:05:01,998 --> 01:05:06,401
Richmond uses their last timeout with
1:20 remaining in the fourth quarter

1023
01:05:06,602 --> 01:05:08,934
- and Bayhill up by six.
- Time out!

1024
01:05:11,841 --> 01:05:14,366
Come on, man.
We still in the game. Come on.

1025
01:05:24,687 --> 01:05:26,655
Don't panic.

1026
01:05:27,390 --> 01:05:29,358
We're six down with 1 :20 left, right?

1027
01:05:29,558 --> 01:05:31,389
We've been in these guys' ass
the whole game.

1028
01:05:31,594 --> 01:05:32,788
We can do this.

1029
01:05:32,995 --> 01:05:35,395
- This is our time, right?
- Yeah, yeah.

1030
01:05:36,032 --> 01:05:38,660
All right, set up the 1 -4.
Run Candy.

1031
01:05:38,868 --> 01:05:40,460
Damien's gonna hit the three.

1032
01:05:40,670 --> 01:05:43,264
Kenyon, Lyle,
set a hard screen down here.

1033
01:05:43,539 --> 01:05:46,099
When he hits the three,
go right into Diane.

1034
01:05:46,309 --> 01:05:47,571
Pressure the inbound pass.

1035
01:05:47,777 --> 01:05:49,404
Suffocate that pass.

1036
01:05:49,612 --> 01:05:51,239
l want the ball back!

1037
01:05:51,447 --> 01:05:53,278
- Come on, baby, lock up.

1038
01:05:53,482 --> 01:05:55,507

Make the shot, Damien!

1048
01:06:37,526 --> 01:06:39,357

1050
01:06:44,100 --> 01:06:46,159
Go, go, go. Ball, ball, ball.

Right there, right there. l got him.

1052
01:06:51,140 --> 01:06:53,074
- Off him, man. Off him.
- Richmond's ball!

1053
01:06:53,275 --> 01:06:55,004
Richmond's ball!

1054

A foul, ref!

1062
01:07:40,289 --> 01:07:42,780
Right wing, Kenyon, wing!

1063
01:07:49,265 --> 01:07:51,893
Richmond takes the lead
for the first time in the game,

1064
01:07:52,101 --> 01:07:54,865
7 8 to 7 6.

1065
01:08:00,609 --> 01:08:03,772
Slow the ball down!
Slow the ball down!

1066

1069
01:08:24,366 --> 01:08:28,769
The basket counts,
and the Cougars have tied the game.

1070
01:08:30,706 --> 01:08:32,606
That was a bad call, ref!

1071
01:08:36,846 --> 01:08:39,076
- Basket counts! One shot!
- That's a charge!

1072
01:08:39,281 --> 01:08:42,512
- Foul's on red five. On the block.

1073
01:08:43,352 --> 01:08:45,479
Coach! Please get back in the box.

Oh, you know, we try to be

Yo, what's up? This is a nice crib.

This water's probably

And swimming ain't my cup of tea,
baby. Know what l'm saying?

Heated. Probably 90 degrees.

01:15:31,837 --> 01:15:34,499
- We don't have bathing suits.
- Right.

1156
01:15:34,706 --> 01:15:36,697
Neither do we.

1165
01:16:06,805 --> 01:16:09,865
l gotta take my chain off
so it don't turn green.

1166
01:16:11,510 --> 01:16:13,774
Oh, man, l can't believe this.

1167
01:16:15,147 --> 01:16:16,478
Heaven!

1168
01:16:37,569 --> 01:16:39,230
Excuse me.

1169
01:16:41,573 --> 01:16:43,837
- Can l help you?
- l'm Ken Carter,

1170
01:16:44,042 --> 01:16:45,839
coach of the Richmond High
basketball team.

1171
01:16:46,278 --> 01:16:47,802
Richmond?

1172
01:16:48,514 --> 01:16:51,108
- You're a little lost, aren't you?
- Well, l'm looking for my son.

1173
01:16:51,316 --> 01:16:55,047
The cab driver told me he dropped
the team off here for a party.

1174
01:16:55,254 --> 01:16:56,778
Excuse me.

1175
01:17:39,064 --> 01:17:40,588
Oh, my God, is that--?

1176
01:17:40,799 --> 01:17:42,357
Oh, my God, it's Susan's dad.

1177
01:17:42,568 --> 01:17:44,559
You see your son?

1178
01:17:45,437 --> 01:17:47,098
Yes, sir, l do.

1179
01:17:52,811 --> 01:17:54,608
Damien Carter.

1180
01:17:55,080 --> 01:17:57,674
Get your ass out of that pool.

1181
01:17:58,383 --> 01:17:59,850
Yes, sir.

1182
01:18:00,052 --> 01:18:02,577
Richmond High players, let's go!

1183
01:18:03,488 --> 01:18:06,013
- Coach!
- Hey, Worm, where did you go?

1184
01:18:06,225 --> 01:18:07,783
Worm?

1185
01:18:09,161 --> 01:18:10,753
What up, coach?

1186
01:18:10,963 --> 01:18:12,988
l got somebody l want
you to meet.

1187
01:18:13,298 --> 01:18:16,893
Now, l just met her,
but she is fine as hell.

1188
01:18:17,102 --> 01:18:19,900
- Her name is...
- Susan!

1189
01:18:20,105 --> 01:18:22,335
- Susan. He right!
- Oh, shit.

1190
01:18:22,541 --> 01:18:25,339
My daughter, Susan.

1191
01:18:26,378 --> 01:18:30,280
You are not going to like
what happens in practice on Monday.

1192
01:18:30,482 --> 01:18:32,712
You think you've run for me before?

1193
01:18:32,918 --> 01:18:37,446
l come to your rooms to celebrate
with you, and you sneak--

1194
01:18:40,425 --> 01:18:43,519
l end up taking a road trip
to the suburbs,

1195
01:18:43,729 --> 01:18:46,289
where l find my
drunk-ass point guard

1196
01:18:46,498 --> 01:18:48,796
on top of Daddy's little princess!

1197
01:18:49,368 --> 01:18:52,860
Actually, l was on the bottom, coach.
She was on the top.

1198
01:18:53,071 --> 01:18:55,539
Worm, do you wanna be
on this team?

1199
01:18:55,741 --> 01:18:58,369
Because you're about six words
from getting kicked off

1200
01:18:58,577 --> 01:19:01,478
and kicked off the goddamn bus!

1201
01:19:01,680 --> 01:19:03,944
Cruz, open your eyes!

1202
01:19:04,616 --> 01:19:06,345
Ghetto hoop stars!

1203
01:19:06,718 --> 01:19:10,279
Signing autographs
and humping the honeys!

1204
01:19:10,756 --> 01:19:13,589
Well, l'm gonna show you
what humping is.

1205
01:19:14,092 --> 01:19:17,721
Coach, we won the tournament.

1206
01:19:17,929 --> 01:19:19,260
We undefeated.

1207
01:19:19,464 --> 01:19:21,557
l mean, ain't that what you wanted?

1208
01:19:21,767 --> 01:19:23,098
Winners?

1209
01:20:36,808 --> 01:20:38,935
Oh, no.

1210
01:20:39,711 --> 01:20:42,111
Oh, no, no, no.

1211
01:20:42,314 --> 01:20:44,874
Oh, no!

1212
01:20:49,121 --> 01:20:50,748
God--!

1213
01:21:01,967 --> 01:21:04,299
You guys are awesome!

1214
01:21:17,682 --> 01:21:19,240
What's up, Cruz?

1215
01:21:19,451 --> 01:21:20,645
l don't know.

1216
01:21:20,852 --> 01:21:23,480
Coach giving us a day off, l guess.

1217
01:21:26,224 --> 01:21:28,215
Yo, l don't even know where
the library's even at.

1218
01:21:28,427 --> 01:21:30,520
- l bet you don't.
- ''Library's at''?

1219
01:21:30,729 --> 01:21:32,959
He don't know
where the library's at.

1220
01:21:47,979 --> 01:21:49,571
Quiet.

1221
01:21:51,082 --> 01:21:52,674
Quiet!

1222
01:21:53,718 --> 01:21:57,210
Gentlemen, in this hand,
l hold contracts

1223
01:21:57,456 --> 01:21:59,822
signed by me and signed by you.

1224
01:22:00,025 --> 01:22:04,689
ln this hand, l hold academic-progress
reports prepared by your teachers.

1225
01:22:05,297 --> 01:22:07,891
We have six players failing
at least one class,

1226
01:22:08,099 --> 01:22:12,195
eight players getting incompletes
based on attendance.

1227
01:22:12,404 --> 01:22:15,601
Gentlemen, you have failed to up--

1228
01:22:16,274 --> 01:22:17,832
No, l'm sorry.

1229
01:22:18,443 --> 01:22:20,536
We have failed.

1230
01:22:20,879 --> 01:22:22,813
We have failed each other.

1231
01:22:23,415 --> 01:22:25,906
Now, there are some of you
who have upheld this contract.

1232
01:22:26,117 --> 01:22:29,518
But know that we are a team.

1233
01:22:29,721 --> 01:22:32,622
And until we all meet the terms
of this contract,

1234
01:22:32,824 --> 01:22:34,553
the gym will remain locked.

1235
01:22:34,759 --> 01:22:35,953
- Locked?
- What?

1236
01:22:36,161 --> 01:22:38,356
- What you mean, locked?
- What, like for the day?

1237
01:22:38,563 --> 01:22:40,463
- He must mean for the day.
- Mr. Thompson,

1238
01:22:40,665 --> 01:22:43,896
Mr. Gesek and Miss Sherman have
generously volunteered their time

1239
01:22:44,102 --> 01:22:45,592
to help us reach our goals.

1240
01:22:45,804 --> 01:22:47,431
But, coach, l have a 3.3.

1241
01:22:47,639 --> 01:22:49,004
That's good, sir.

1242
01:22:49,207 --> 01:22:51,266
Do you score all the points
for the team too?

1243
01:22:54,513 --> 01:22:57,277
We are the Richmond Oilers.

1244
01:22:58,083 --> 01:23:00,779
Do you know what Oilers
stands for?

1245
01:23:04,189 --> 01:23:06,054
Sir?

1246
01:23:06,858 --> 01:23:09,656
Know that you're not just
walking out on me.

1247
01:23:09,861 --> 01:23:11,886
You're walking out on them.

1248
01:23:12,697 --> 01:23:14,597
l had to beg you.

1249
01:23:16,401 --> 01:23:18,995
And then l ran all those sprints.

1250
01:23:19,771 --> 01:23:21,261
l did all that shit.

1251
01:23:21,473 --> 01:23:25,603
l killed myself for you, sir,
to get back on the team.

1252
01:23:29,080 --> 01:23:30,843
This is bullshit.

1253
01:23:53,738 --> 01:23:56,730
You put a lock on the gym and forced
them to meet you in the library?

1254
01:23:56,942 --> 01:23:58,466
- Are you crazy?
- Miss Garrison.

1255
01:23:58,677 --> 01:24:00,770
l'm surprised you know
where my office is.

1256
01:24:00,979 --> 01:24:02,537
Take the lock off that gym.

1257
01:24:02,747 --> 01:24:04,214
My phone hasn't stopped ringing.

1258
01:24:04,416 --> 01:24:06,008
Maybe someone on the other end
of that phone

1259
01:24:06,217 --> 01:24:07,912
has a solution to our problem.

1260
01:24:08,119 --> 01:24:11,213
Your intentions are good, Mr. Carter,
but your methods are a bit extreme.

1261
01:24:11,423 --> 01:24:13,357
You painted an extreme picture.

1262
01:24:13,558 --> 01:24:16,391
No one expects them to graduate,
no one expects them to go to college.

1263
01:24:16,828 --> 01:24:19,353
So you take away basketball,
the one area of their lives

1264
01:24:19,564 --> 01:24:21,464
- where they have some success?
- Yes, ma'am.

1265
01:24:21,666 --> 01:24:23,293
And you challenge them
academically?

1266
01:24:23,501 --> 01:24:25,230
- Yes, ma'am.
- And what if they fail?

1267
01:24:25,437 --> 01:24:27,530
Then we've failed.

1268
01:24:29,341 --> 01:24:31,366
Unfortunately, Mr. Carter,
both you and l know

1269
01:24:31,576 --> 01:24:33,806
that for some of these kids,
this basketball season

1270
01:24:34,012 --> 01:24:36,606
will be the highlight of their lives.

1271
01:24:37,582 --> 01:24:41,177
Well, l think that's the problem.
Don't you?

1272
01:25:06,544 --> 01:25:08,512
- Good morning, Coach Carter.
- Good morning.

1273
01:25:08,713 --> 01:25:10,476
Quite the Pandora's box
you've opened.

1274
01:25:10,682 --> 01:25:12,115
Oh, l get all the blame now?

1275
01:25:12,317 --> 01:25:15,184
Let's just say l'm happy to give you
all the credit.

1276
01:25:15,387 --> 01:25:18,618
l've got every news reporter in town
waiting to speak to you.

1277
01:25:18,823 --> 01:25:21,519
Got a press conference set up
around the front of the gymnasium.

1278
01:25:21,960 --> 01:25:23,985
Coach Carter has taken the lockout
to the next level

1279
01:25:24,195 --> 01:25:25,924
by canceling last night's game.

1280
01:25:26,131 --> 01:25:29,692
Richmond forfeited the game,
making it their first loss of the season.

1281
01:25:29,901 --> 01:25:31,698
And for now,
the lock remains on the gym.

1282
01:25:31,903 --> 01:25:33,666
Here he comes.
Here he comes now.

1283
01:25:33,872 --> 01:25:38,036
Coach Carter! Coach!
Can l get a question?

1284
01:25:38,643 --> 01:25:41,669
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
l'd like to thank you for your patience.

1285
01:25:41,880 --> 01:25:44,644
At this time, l'd like to introduce
Coach Ken Carter.

1286
01:25:44,849 --> 01:25:47,113
You may direct
your questions to him.

1287
01:25:47,318 --> 01:25:51,914
Mr. Carter, is it unfair to the players
whose grades qualify them to play?

1288
01:25:52,123 --> 01:25:53,818
Basketball's a team sport, sir.

1289
01:25:54,025 --> 01:25:56,357
We support each other
on and off the court.

1290
01:25:56,561 --> 01:25:58,893
Anybody still think coach
bluffing now?

1291
01:25:59,097 --> 01:26:01,759
l feel like running right up
in the middle of all those reporters

1292
01:26:01,966 --> 01:26:04,400
and telling them l think this
is bullshit, son.

1293
01:26:04,602 --> 01:26:06,968
Maybe you should've gone
to class, Lyle.

1294
01:26:07,172 --> 01:26:09,936
Maybe you should kiss my ass, dog.
My grades are fine, homeboy.

1295
01:26:10,141 --> 01:26:13,110
- lt's Junior they should've locked out.
- Maybe Junior will kick your ass out.

1296
01:26:13,311 --> 01:26:16,644
- Why don't you try spelling it, then.
- Chill, chill, chill, man. Damn.

1297
01:26:16,848 --> 01:26:19,578
- Junior, if you need help, l'll tutor you.
- Man, l don't need no help.

1298
01:26:19,784 --> 01:26:21,445
Well, he ain't lock us out
for no reason.

1299
01:26:22,787 --> 01:26:25,085
We been tripping lately, man.
All y'all know it.

1300
01:26:25,290 --> 01:26:27,656
How do you think the community's
gonna react to this lockout?

1301
01:26:27,859 --> 01:26:30,953
l'm not really sure. l hope
they'll support these young men.

1302
01:26:31,162 --> 01:26:33,153
What, man?

1303
01:26:33,364 --> 01:26:35,594
No, man, it's just funny, dog,
because, Junior, man,

1304
01:26:35,800 --> 01:26:38,997
you thought it was bad all us knew
your dumb ass was failing science.

1305
01:26:39,204 --> 01:26:41,695
Now the whole world about to know
your dumb ass failing science.

1306
01:26:41,906 --> 01:26:44,636
- Man.
- Hey, man.

1307
01:26:46,511 --> 01:26:49,503
And you have Fremont this Saturday,
the biggest game on your schedule.

1308
01:26:49,714 --> 01:26:53,548
Now, Richmond is gonna riot
if you forfeit that game.

1309
01:26:53,752 --> 01:26:55,310
Saturday is a long way off.

1310
01:26:55,520 --> 01:26:57,454
We'll see what happens.
Thank you all for coming.

1311
01:26:57,655 --> 01:27:00,180
That's all the time l have right now.
l have to get back to work.

1312
01:27:00,391 --> 01:27:03,292
Coach, have you talked to any
of the parents?

1313
01:27:04,262 --> 01:27:05,957
Thank you for your time,
ladies and gentlemen.

1314
01:27:06,164 --> 01:27:08,826
l'd like to remind you that classes
are in session,

1315
01:27:09,033 --> 01:27:11,399
so as you leave campus,
please do so quietly.

1316
01:27:13,004 --> 01:27:14,232
l ain't turning the cheek.

1317
01:27:14,439 --> 01:27:16,839
He come up in my 'hood,
l'm serious, it's on.

1318
01:27:17,041 --> 01:27:19,271
- Young sirs.
- lt's always been like that.

1319
01:27:19,477 --> 01:27:21,445
lt's been a long day.

1320
01:27:21,646 --> 01:27:24,638
Reporters. Media everywhere.

1321
01:27:24,849 --> 01:27:28,945
Let's take this time to say whatever it is
we want while the doors are closed.

1322
01:27:29,154 --> 01:27:32,749
You have the floor.
This is about us.

1323
01:27:32,957 --> 01:27:36,290
Man, this shit ain't about us.
This is all about Coach Carter.

1324
01:27:36,494 --> 01:27:38,223
We're the basketball team.

1325
01:27:38,429 --> 01:27:41,887
All l see is you on TV,
getting famous, eating that shit up.

1326
01:27:42,100 --> 01:27:44,398
- ls that all you see?
- lt's all l see.

1327
01:27:44,602 --> 01:27:46,365
You ain't lying.

1328
01:27:46,905 --> 01:27:48,497
Well, let me tell you what l see.

1329
01:27:49,440 --> 01:27:54,173
l see a system that's designed
for you to fail.

1330
01:27:54,612 --> 01:27:57,206
Now, l know you all like stats,
so let me give you some.

1331
01:27:57,515 --> 01:28:01,281
Richmond High only graduates
50 percent of its students.

1332
01:28:01,486 --> 01:28:06,651
And of those that do graduate,
only 6 percent go to college.

1333
01:28:06,858 --> 01:28:11,818
Which tells me, when l walk down
the halls and l look in your classrooms,

1334
01:28:12,030 --> 01:28:16,296
maybe only one student
is going to go to college.

1335
01:28:16,768 --> 01:28:20,363
''Well, damn, Coach Carter, if l ain't
going to college, where l'm gonna go?''

1336
01:28:20,572 --> 01:28:22,699
Now, that's a great question.

1337
01:28:22,907 --> 01:28:28,368
And the answer for young
African-American men in here is this:

1338
01:28:28,580 --> 01:28:30,480
probably to prison.

1339
01:28:30,882 --> 01:28:34,818
ln this county,
33 percent of black males

1340
01:28:35,019 --> 01:28:39,456
between 1 8 and 24 get arrested.

1341
01:28:40,658 --> 01:28:42,387
So look at the guy on your left.

1342
01:28:43,294 --> 01:28:45,694
Now look at the guy on your right.

1343
01:28:46,931 --> 01:28:49,229
One of you is going
to get arrested.

1344
01:28:49,901 --> 01:28:51,596
Growing up here in Richmond,

1345
01:28:51,803 --> 01:28:56,433
you're 80 percent more likely
to go to prison than college.

1346
01:28:57,108 --> 01:28:59,576
Those are the numbers.

1347
01:29:00,445 --> 01:29:02,640
Those are some stats for your ass.

1348
01:29:03,414 --> 01:29:05,746
Now, l want you to go home...

1349
01:29:06,184 --> 01:29:08,379
...and look at your lives tonight...

1350
01:29:09,020 --> 01:29:11,420
...and look at your parents' lives...

1351
01:29:11,990 --> 01:29:14,959
...and ask yourself, ''Do l want better?''

1352
01:29:15,693 --> 01:29:17,854
lf the answer is yes,

1353
01:29:18,096 --> 01:29:20,257
l'll see you here tomorrow.

1354
01:29:21,132 --> 01:29:22,963
And l promise you...

1355
01:29:23,935 --> 01:29:27,234
...l will do everything in my power

1356
01:29:27,438 --> 01:29:29,167
to get you to college

1357
01:29:29,374 --> 01:29:31,604
and to a better life.

1358
01:29:58,336 --> 01:30:01,965
l don't understand this.
lt's a letter, how can it be a number?

1359
01:30:02,240 --> 01:30:03,867
How are balancing
those equations coming?

1360
01:30:04,075 --> 01:30:07,044
- l can't do this.
- Hold on. Come on, son.

1361
01:30:07,245 --> 01:30:08,405
Don't give up yet, son.

1362
01:30:08,613 --> 01:30:11,411
Here's a story out of California
that's getting national attention.

1363
01:30:11,616 --> 01:30:14,449
The entire boys' basketball team
at Richmond High School

1364
01:30:14,652 --> 01:30:15,983
has been benched.

1365
01:30:16,187 --> 01:30:18,712
The highly ranked Oilers have
a perfect season on the court,

1366
01:30:18,923 --> 01:30:21,323
but some players were
in big trouble academically.

1367
01:30:21,526 --> 01:30:25,428
And in an unprecedented move,
Coach Ken Carter canceled practice,

1368
01:30:25,630 --> 01:30:29,066
locked the gym and sent his players
straight to the library.

1369
01:30:29,267 --> 01:30:30,427
Now, at the start of the season,

1370
01:30:30,635 --> 01:30:33,229
l understand you made all of
your players sign a contract

1371
01:30:33,438 --> 01:30:34,769
before they could join the team.

1372
01:30:34,973 --> 01:30:37,032
What exactly were the conditions
of that contract?

1373
01:30:37,241 --> 01:30:39,732
The contract states that
the players must maintain

1374
01:30:39,944 --> 01:30:41,536
a 2.3 grade point average

1375
01:30:41,746 --> 01:30:44,112
and that the players must
attend all their classes

1376
01:30:44,315 --> 01:30:46,647
and sit in the front row
of those classes.

1377
01:30:46,851 --> 01:30:49,945
Well, Coach Carter, it's an
unusual strategy, and a risky one

1378
01:30:50,154 --> 01:30:52,019
in a sense, in light of
your team's winning record,

1379
01:30:52,223 --> 01:30:55,351
but l think there's gonna be a lot of
people out there pleased to learn

1380
01:30:55,560 --> 01:30:59,189
that at least somebody still cares
about the concept of a student athlete.

1381
01:30:59,397 --> 01:31:01,160
Thanks a lot for joining us today.

1382
01:31:07,438 --> 01:31:08,632
l'm sorry to disturb you.

1383
01:31:08,840 --> 01:31:11,775
l'm Coach Ken Carter of the Richmond
High School basketball team.

1384
01:31:11,976 --> 01:31:13,136
Oh, yeah.

1385
01:31:13,344 --> 01:31:14,971
l need to ask you a favor.

1386
01:31:15,179 --> 01:31:18,342
My team is studying in the library,
and l've been trying to tell them

1387
01:31:18,549 --> 01:31:20,517
that brains and beauty
are a perfect combination.

1388
01:31:20,718 --> 01:31:21,685
Know what l'm saying?

1389
01:31:21,886 --> 01:31:23,615
l mean, l'm Worm, baby.

1390
01:31:23,821 --> 01:31:25,721
How would you like
to watch the Worm work?

1391
01:31:25,923 --> 01:31:27,857
Hey, where did you get
that backpack?

1392
01:31:28,059 --> 01:31:29,151
Watch out, Too Short.

1393
01:31:29,360 --> 01:31:34,821
Why study earth science
or history or algebra?

1394
01:31:35,666 --> 01:31:40,433
Getting good grades in those subjects,
combined with basketball skills,

1395
01:31:40,638 --> 01:31:43,630
can get you into college.

1396
01:31:43,841 --> 01:31:46,742
Girl, you should've bought it.
l would've worn it.

1397
01:31:56,220 --> 01:31:59,189
You selfish son of a bitch.
You snake.

1398
01:31:59,390 --> 01:32:01,688
- Miss--
- No, no, don't ''miss'' me, snake.

1399
01:32:01,893 --> 01:32:03,360
Mr. Carter, you remember me?

1400
01:32:03,561 --> 01:32:06,359
Now, after all the things that my son
has been through for your team,

1401
01:32:06,564 --> 01:32:08,759
for you to go lock up
this gym like this, how dare you...

1402
01:32:25,450 --> 01:32:26,940
Open up the damn gym!

1403
01:32:27,151 --> 01:32:29,346
Let the boys play!

1404
01:32:34,325 --> 01:32:36,122
What's up, little cousin?

1405
01:32:36,327 --> 01:32:38,261
How you doing?

1406
01:32:38,629 --> 01:32:39,721
Got something for me?

1407
01:32:41,699 --> 01:32:43,189
That's what l'm talking about.

1408
01:32:53,644 --> 01:32:56,477
Hey, hey. Put it down, man.

1409
01:32:58,416 --> 01:33:00,008
- You Coach Carter, right?
- Yes, sir.

1410
01:33:00,218 --> 01:33:02,618
- Yeah? Check this out, man.
- Hey, hold on, man.

1411
01:33:02,820 --> 01:33:04,617
- Yeah. How you like that?
- Oh, hell no.

1412
01:33:04,822 --> 01:33:07,017
- What? What?
- You wanna get out the car?

1413
01:33:07,225 --> 01:33:09,455
- Let's talk about this.
- Ain't nothing to talk about.

1414
01:33:09,660 --> 01:33:11,651
Just open up the gym, man.
Let them boys play.

1415
01:33:14,165 --> 01:33:15,655
Trust me, you don't want me
out this car.

1416
01:33:15,867 --> 01:33:17,425
Yeah, see? Yeah.

1417
01:33:18,169 --> 01:33:19,500
- Get on!
- Don't be no punk.

1418
01:33:19,704 --> 01:33:20,671
Say what you gotta say.

1419
01:33:20,872 --> 01:33:22,931
- Come on back, punk.
- Dad. Relax. Relax, let it go.

1420
01:33:23,141 --> 01:33:24,335
No, l ain't letting nothing go.

1421
01:33:24,542 --> 01:33:28,103
These people in Richmond--
Goddamn it!

1422
01:33:28,446 --> 01:33:29,413
- Relax, Dad.
- Damn it!

1423
01:33:29,614 --> 01:33:32,515
Relax, relax. Chill out.
lt's over. lt's over. All right?

1424
01:33:32,717 --> 01:33:34,947
He doesn't mean anything. lt's over.

1425
01:33:35,153 --> 01:33:36,381
Let it go.

1426
01:33:36,587 --> 01:33:38,919
Come on, get back in the car.
Let's go.

1427
01:34:57,235 --> 01:34:59,601
l think you know who she is,
but she's got a friend.

1428
01:34:59,804 --> 01:35:01,533
l mean, dog...
You gotta hook me up.

1429
01:35:01,739 --> 01:35:04,435
Why l always gotta hook him up?
Sound like l'm the Love Connection.

1430
01:35:04,642 --> 01:35:06,542
Just start a conversation.
l'll take care of it.

1431
01:35:06,744 --> 01:35:08,473
- Yeah.
- Yes, girl.

1432
01:35:08,913 --> 01:35:10,710
You don't remember me, do you?
But, see...

1433
01:35:10,915 --> 01:35:12,815
l was just ready to duff Duke out.

1434
01:35:13,017 --> 01:35:15,485
- Some serious shit.
- You should have did it, man.

1435
01:35:15,686 --> 01:35:18,314
You talking all that shit, just do it.
Know what l'm saying?

1436
01:35:18,522 --> 01:35:20,353
- You let somebody do that to you.
- l let him?

1437
01:35:20,558 --> 01:35:21,923
- Yo, Oscar, man.
- What?

1438
01:35:22,126 --> 01:35:23,457
Don't go nowhere. l'll be right out.

1439
01:35:23,661 --> 01:35:25,561
- l gotta talk to you.
- l already told you...

1440
01:35:25,763 --> 01:35:28,857
- No. You guys is kind of passing...
- l know l'm fine.

1441
01:35:29,066 --> 01:35:31,660
But l'm not feeling myself,
l'm feeling you.

1442
01:35:32,236 --> 01:35:35,535
Hey, l'm gonna holler at my boys
across the street for a quick minute.

1443
01:35:35,740 --> 01:35:36,968
Come on, man. Hurry up, man.

1444
01:35:37,174 --> 01:35:38,664
- All right.
- You know who we are, then?

1445
01:35:38,876 --> 01:35:40,935
- Here they go.
- What do we have here?

1446
01:35:41,145 --> 01:35:43,375
- The Three Stooges from Richmond.
- Punk, punk, punk.

1447
01:35:43,581 --> 01:35:44,980
- Larry, Co and Dummy.
- Bitches.

1448
01:35:45,182 --> 01:35:46,945
Dummy and dumb and dumber.
l mean, what the hell

1449
01:35:47,151 --> 01:35:50,552
is the bitchman from Richmond
doing on our side of the turf?

1450
01:35:50,855 --> 01:35:53,255
You garbage.
l can't believe y'all won.

1451
01:35:53,457 --> 01:35:54,651
- Shut up, woman.
- Don't be--

1452
01:35:54,859 --> 01:35:57,054
l don't understand how y'all won.

1453
01:35:58,996 --> 01:36:00,861
- Y'all wack-star niggas.
- Y'all wacked.

1454
01:36:01,065 --> 01:36:02,430
Wacked.

1455
01:36:02,667 --> 01:36:04,532
Yo, shut your bitch ass up.

1456
01:36:04,735 --> 01:36:07,568
- l don't wanna hear you talking shit.
- Homey, you a benchwarmer!

1457
01:36:09,440 --> 01:36:11,169
Get the hell out my face, whitey!

1458
01:36:13,878 --> 01:36:15,971
Let's do it, homey.
Let's do it, homey.

1459
01:36:16,180 --> 01:36:17,875
- What you trying to do?
- He got a piece, man.

1460
01:36:18,549 --> 01:36:21,450
You feel me right now, huh?
You feel me right now?

1461
01:36:21,686 --> 01:36:24,416
- Y'all brought a gun.
- Pinole homey. Feel me?

1462
01:36:24,622 --> 01:36:26,920
Keep it up the block, homey.
l'm right here, homey.

1463
01:36:27,124 --> 01:36:29,285
l'm right here. Right here.

1464
01:36:29,493 --> 01:36:31,358
lt's all good. Y'all brought a gun!

1465
01:36:31,562 --> 01:36:32,961
Pinole!

1466
01:36:33,197 --> 01:36:35,028
Bitch-ass...

1467
01:36:35,232 --> 01:36:37,200
Pinole, right?

1468
01:36:37,635 --> 01:36:40,900
- Are they serious?
- l'll knock his braids out.

1469
01:36:41,472 --> 01:36:44,100
Nice to see the fight in you, dog.

1470
01:36:44,842 --> 01:36:46,605
- Know what l'm saying?
- Appreciate the backup.

1471
01:36:46,811 --> 01:36:48,210
Word.

1472
01:36:49,547 --> 01:36:51,071
l'm gonna see y'all later, all right?

1473
01:36:51,282 --> 01:36:52,715
- All right, homey.
- Good looking.

1474
01:36:52,917 --> 01:36:54,316
No doubt.

1475
01:36:54,985 --> 01:36:56,577
- l'm gonna check y'all.
- You got this.

1476
01:36:58,789 --> 01:37:00,984
This is my paper, man.
l'm not playing with you.

1477
01:37:01,192 --> 01:37:03,092
Then why don't you stop
getting in my face.

1478
01:37:07,198 --> 01:37:08,665
Renny!

1479
01:37:17,608 --> 01:37:19,633
Renny!

1480
01:37:27,084 --> 01:37:28,711
l can't believe--
He was just standing there.

1481
01:37:28,919 --> 01:37:30,648
- Renny!
- Oh, shit.

1482
01:37:30,855 --> 01:37:33,323
- Come on. Help me. Call 91 1 .
- Call 91 1 , man.

1483
01:37:33,524 --> 01:37:35,185
Yo, l need a phone.
l need something...

1484
01:37:35,393 --> 01:37:38,157
l just need you
to stay with me, okay?

1485
01:37:41,799 --> 01:37:43,289
Hold his head up.

1486
01:37:49,240 --> 01:37:51,674
Somebody help me!

1487
01:38:15,599 --> 01:38:17,123
- Cruz?
- l wanna come back, coach.

1488
01:38:17,334 --> 01:38:20,326
- What's going on?
- l wanna come back on the team.

1489
01:38:22,406 --> 01:38:23,896
What the hell happened?

1490
01:38:25,576 --> 01:38:27,305
They shot him.

1491
01:38:28,579 --> 01:38:30,672
Renny. They shot Renny.

1492
01:38:31,115 --> 01:38:32,844
l mean, we was just there.

1493
01:38:33,050 --> 01:38:35,348
We was just there.
Everything was good.

1494
01:38:35,553 --> 01:38:37,680
- Come inside. Come on.
- Everything was good, coach.

1495
01:38:37,888 --> 01:38:40,721
l mean, you know...

1496
01:38:40,925 --> 01:38:42,256
Come inside, son.

1497
01:38:42,460 --> 01:38:45,054
- Come on.
- You don't understand.

1498
01:38:45,262 --> 01:38:48,595
l wanna come back on the team.
What do l gotta do to play?

1499
01:38:48,799 --> 01:38:50,733
Don't worry about that, son.
Just come inside.

1500
01:38:57,308 --> 01:38:59,208
Whatever you want me to do,

1501
01:38:59,610 --> 01:39:01,077
l'll do it, okay?

1502
01:39:01,278 --> 01:39:02,472
Okay. Okay.

1503
01:39:02,680 --> 01:39:05,171
Okay. l got you.

1504
01:39:05,382 --> 01:39:07,282
Come on. Come on,
you're back with us now.

1505
01:39:07,485 --> 01:39:09,544
l can't believe they shot him.

1506
01:39:09,753 --> 01:39:11,448
Just come inside now, all right?

1507
01:39:11,655 --> 01:39:13,145
- Come on.
- l just wanna be on the team.

1508
01:39:13,357 --> 01:39:14,346
Come on. Come on.

1509
01:39:15,326 --> 01:39:17,226
Whatever you want me to do,

1510
01:39:17,428 --> 01:39:19,953
l'll do it, okay?

1511
01:39:23,567 --> 01:39:26,001
The state only requires a 2.0 GPA

1512
01:39:26,203 --> 01:39:28,865
for participation
in extracurricular activities.

1513
01:39:29,073 --> 01:39:31,132
- Yes, ma'am.
- And according to your contract,

1514
01:39:31,342 --> 01:39:33,572
the players are agreeing
to maintain a 2.3?

1515
01:39:33,777 --> 01:39:35,711
That, among other things.
Yes, ma'am.

1516
01:39:35,913 --> 01:39:38,245
- Other things like...?
- Attending all classes,

1517
01:39:38,449 --> 01:39:39,973
sitting in the front row
of those classes,

1518
01:39:40,184 --> 01:39:41,879
and wearing a tie on game day.

1519
01:39:42,686 --> 01:39:44,745
l see. Mr. Carter,

1520
01:39:44,955 --> 01:39:47,719
does the lockout include
practices and games?

1521
01:39:47,925 --> 01:39:50,018
And do you have
a set period of time?

1522
01:39:50,227 --> 01:39:52,092
There will be no basketball, ma'am.

1523
01:39:54,532 --> 01:39:57,330
Please. Quiet, please.

1524
01:39:57,735 --> 01:39:59,828
That includes practices and games,

1525
01:40:00,037 --> 01:40:02,301
until we as a team
reach the agreed-upon GPA.

1526
01:40:03,007 --> 01:40:04,634
Please, quiet.

1527
01:40:05,209 --> 01:40:07,302
Please, quiet.

1528
01:40:07,511 --> 01:40:09,274
Quiet.

1529
01:40:09,813 --> 01:40:11,178
Thank you, Mr. Carter.

1530
01:40:11,382 --> 01:40:15,375
ln the interest of time, l'd like to open
this board meeting up for comments.

1531
01:40:15,586 --> 01:40:18,077
As a teacher, l was offended
when asked by a coach

1532
01:40:18,289 --> 01:40:20,314
to provide progress reports.

1533
01:40:20,524 --> 01:40:23,925
Nowhere in my contract does it say
that l have to do so.

1534
01:40:24,128 --> 01:40:25,720
lt creates more work.

1535
01:40:25,930 --> 01:40:28,194
This lockout has brought
negative media attention

1536
01:40:28,399 --> 01:40:31,163
that questions our abilities
as educators.

1537
01:40:31,468 --> 01:40:35,234
End this madness. End this lockout.

1538
01:40:37,541 --> 01:40:39,270
l'm Jason Lyle's uncle.

1539
01:40:39,476 --> 01:40:40,670
That boy lives to play ball.

1540
01:40:40,878 --> 01:40:42,903
Comes to school every day now.

1541
01:40:43,113 --> 01:40:45,479
You take away basketball,

1542
01:40:45,749 --> 01:40:48,115
God knows what he'd be into.

1543
01:40:48,919 --> 01:40:52,446
Yesterday, he canceled
the Fremont game.

1544
01:40:52,656 --> 01:40:54,988
Now, that's the biggest game
of the year.

1545
01:40:55,192 --> 01:40:57,126
l have scouts coming
to watch my boy play.

1546
01:40:57,328 --> 01:41:00,491
- Me too.
- These boys are 1 6-0.

1547
01:41:00,698 --> 01:41:03,861
This whole school, this whole
community, is behind this team.

1548
01:41:07,504 --> 01:41:09,734
Everybody goes to every game.

1549
01:41:09,940 --> 01:41:12,340
Basketball is the only thing
that these boys have got.

1550
01:41:12,543 --> 01:41:15,706
Are we gonna let Carter come in here
and take that away from them?

1551
01:41:15,913 --> 01:41:18,507
- No!
- l don't think so.

1552
01:41:18,716 --> 01:41:19,910
Not gonna happen.

1553
01:41:27,224 --> 01:41:30,022
- l'd like to make a motion.
- Yes, Mr. Walters?

1554
01:41:30,394 --> 01:41:34,694
l move that we remove Mr. Carter
as head basketball coach.

1555
01:41:38,335 --> 01:41:40,997
Order, please. Order.

1556
01:41:41,205 --> 01:41:42,797
This board does not have
the authority

1557
01:41:43,007 --> 01:41:45,066
to terminate employment
of a staff position.

1558
01:41:45,275 --> 01:41:49,609
Then l move we end the lockout
and let the kids play.

1559
01:41:50,848 --> 01:41:52,440
l second the motion.

1560
01:41:52,650 --> 01:41:54,015
- Okay.
- lf l may?

1561
01:41:54,218 --> 01:41:55,549
Yes, Mr. Carter.

1562
01:41:55,753 --> 01:41:57,778
You really need to consider
the message

1563
01:41:57,988 --> 01:41:59,615
that you're sending these boys.

1564
01:41:59,990 --> 01:42:04,086
lt's the same message that we
as a culture send to our pro athletes,

1565
01:42:04,294 --> 01:42:06,854
which is that they are above the law.

1566
01:42:07,297 --> 01:42:10,664
Now, l'm trying to teach these boys
the discipline that will inform their lives

1567
01:42:10,868 --> 01:42:12,529
and give them choices.

1568
01:42:12,870 --> 01:42:17,170
lf you endorse the fact
that 1 5-, 1 6- and 1 7-year-olds

1569
01:42:17,374 --> 01:42:20,901
don't have to honor the simple rules
of a basketball contract,

1570
01:42:21,111 --> 01:42:24,205
how long do you think it'll be before
they're out there breaking laws?

1571
01:42:25,449 --> 01:42:28,418
Now, l played basketball
at Richmond 30 years ago.

1572
01:42:28,652 --> 01:42:30,950
lt was the same thing then.

1573
01:42:31,155 --> 01:42:33,521
Some of my teammates
ended up in prison.

1574
01:42:33,724 --> 01:42:35,988
Some of them ended up dead.

1575
01:42:36,193 --> 01:42:39,128
l took this job because
l wanted to effect change

1576
01:42:39,329 --> 01:42:40,796
in a special group of young men,

1577
01:42:40,998 --> 01:42:44,934
and this is the only way
l know how to do that.

1578
01:42:46,336 --> 01:42:48,395
lf you vote to end the lockout,

1579
01:42:48,605 --> 01:42:51,665
you won't have to terminate me.
l'll quit.

1580
01:42:51,875 --> 01:42:53,274
Good.

1581
01:42:58,849 --> 01:43:01,181
Thank you, Mr. Carter.

1582
01:43:03,287 --> 01:43:05,983
The board now recognizes
five voting members.

1583
01:43:06,190 --> 01:43:10,024
ln this instance, we will be accepting
the vote of Principal Garrison as well.

1584
01:43:10,527 --> 01:43:14,190
Now, l put to those members
the vote on whether or not

1585
01:43:14,398 --> 01:43:16,195
to end the lockout.

1586
01:43:16,400 --> 01:43:18,493
All those in favor
of ending the lockout

1587
01:43:18,702 --> 01:43:21,796
will raise their right hand
when called upon.

1588
01:43:22,005 --> 01:43:26,339
l will vote first
by not raising my hand.

1589
01:43:27,010 --> 01:43:29,604
Principal Garrison?

1590
01:43:33,417 --> 01:43:36,011
Valerie Walker.

1591
01:43:37,354 --> 01:43:39,015
Benson Chiu.

1592
01:43:41,391 --> 01:43:43,154
Parent rep, Mr. Cepeda.

1593
01:43:45,395 --> 01:43:47,363
And Ms. Nyugen.

1594
01:43:47,564 --> 01:43:49,862
- Yes.
- Thank you.

1595
01:44:05,215 --> 01:44:07,911
The lockout ends with a vote
of 4 to 2.

1596
01:44:08,118 --> 01:44:11,383
lf there's no other business,
this board meeting is adjourned.

1597
01:44:12,089 --> 01:44:13,556
Thank you all for coming.

1598
01:44:30,774 --> 01:44:32,867
Mr. Carter.

1599
01:44:33,076 --> 01:44:35,544
Are you sure you wanna do this?

1600
01:44:37,648 --> 01:44:39,912
Look, l know we haven't always seen
eye to eye,

1601
01:44:40,117 --> 01:44:42,881
but you've done such a great job with
these boys, it seems wrong to just--

1602
01:44:43,086 --> 01:44:46,954
Look. No offense, ma'am,
but all the work l did with those boys

1603
01:44:47,157 --> 01:44:48,852
was negated when they ended
the lockout.

1604
01:44:49,326 --> 01:44:50,725
l don't think that's true, l--

1605
01:44:50,928 --> 01:44:52,862
The board sent the message
loud and clear.

1606
01:44:53,063 --> 01:44:54,826
Winning basketball games
is more important

1607
01:44:55,032 --> 01:44:57,557
than graduating from high school
and going to college.

1608
01:44:57,768 --> 01:45:01,499
l'm sorry, l just can't support
that message.

1609
01:45:49,086 --> 01:45:54,547
Sir, they can cut the chain off the
door, but they can't make us play.

1610
01:45:56,760 --> 01:46:00,787
We've decided we're gonna finish
what you started, sir.

1611
01:46:01,698 --> 01:46:03,495
Yeah, so leave us be, coach.

1612
01:46:03,834 --> 01:46:05,358
We got shit to do, sir.

1613
01:46:19,049 --> 01:46:21,483
Our deepest fear is not
that we are inadequate.

1614
01:46:21,685 --> 01:46:24,677
Our deepest fear is that
we are powerful beyond measure.

1615
01:46:25,622 --> 01:46:29,023
lt is our light, not our darkness
that most frightens us.

1616
01:46:29,359 --> 01:46:31,293
Your playing small
does not serve the world.

1617
01:46:31,495 --> 01:46:33,122
There is nothing enlightened
about shrinking

1618
01:46:33,330 --> 01:46:36,060
so that other people
won't feel insecure around you.

1619
01:46:37,034 --> 01:46:40,060
We were all meant to shine,
as children do.

1620
01:46:40,270 --> 01:46:43,239
lt's not just in some of us,
it's in everyone.

1621
01:46:43,674 --> 01:46:45,699
And as we let our own light shine,

1622
01:46:45,909 --> 01:46:48,707
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.

1623
01:46:49,212 --> 01:46:52,181
As we are liberated
from our own fear,

1624
01:46:52,616 --> 01:46:55,244
our presence automatically
liberates others.

1625
01:47:01,658 --> 01:47:04,058
Sir, l just wanna say thank you.

1626
01:47:06,430 --> 01:47:08,227
You saved my life.

1627
01:47:17,107 --> 01:47:19,507
Thank you, sirs.

1628
01:47:22,045 --> 01:47:24,275
All of you.

1629
01:48:06,590 --> 01:48:10,082
Academic-progress reports,
young men.

1630
01:48:10,293 --> 01:48:13,091
These things are...

1631
01:48:13,530 --> 01:48:15,725
...unbelievable.

1632
01:48:16,233 --> 01:48:18,997
l know you've been trying.

1633
01:48:21,104 --> 01:48:24,596
l guess there's only one way
to say this.

1634
01:48:26,009 --> 01:48:28,239
Gentlemen, we've reached our goal.
Let's play ball.

1635
01:48:33,817 --> 01:48:36,047
Rich what? Richmond!

1636
01:48:36,253 --> 01:48:38,653
Rich what? Richmond!

1637
01:48:38,855 --> 01:48:40,846
Rich what? Richmond!

1638
01:49:07,984 --> 01:49:09,679
Hustle back. Get back, get back.

1639
01:49:11,354 --> 01:49:13,219
Set it, Worm. Set it.

1640
01:49:13,757 --> 01:49:15,657
Watch baseline.

1641
01:49:15,859 --> 01:49:18,123
- Take it.
- Take it, come on.

1642
01:49:20,764 --> 01:49:23,198
- Yes!
- Find a man. Find a man.

1643
01:49:26,603 --> 01:49:28,503
Swing it, swing it.

1644
01:49:29,106 --> 01:49:31,131
Go, go, go.

1645
01:49:33,710 --> 01:49:35,735
Go, go.

1646
01:49:35,946 --> 01:49:37,379
Come on!

1647
01:49:47,424 --> 01:49:48,686
Go Richmond!

1648
01:49:49,159 --> 01:49:51,059
Hold the ball, hold the ball!

1649
01:49:53,864 --> 01:49:57,391
Nine, eight, seven, six,

1650
01:49:57,601 --> 01:50:01,697
five, four, three, two, one,

1651
01:50:01,905 --> 01:50:03,202
see you!

1652
01:50:10,747 --> 01:50:12,942
- Great game, coach.
- Good game.

1653
01:50:16,920 --> 01:50:20,219
Richmond returns from their lockout
and keeps their streak alive

1654
01:50:20,423 --> 01:50:21,720
at 1 7 games.

1655
01:50:21,925 --> 01:50:26,191
A team that won only four games
last year is now a Cinderella team

1656
01:50:26,396 --> 01:50:28,591
that has to be thinking
that there's a chance

1657
01:50:28,798 --> 01:50:31,358
of getting the phone call
to come to the dance.

1658
01:50:31,568 --> 01:50:33,832
ls Richmond headed
for the state tournament?

1659
01:50:46,349 --> 01:50:48,977
So, what else y'all gonna do
at the park when you go?

1660
01:50:49,186 --> 01:50:51,177
- Seesaw.
- Seesaw?

1661
01:50:51,388 --> 01:50:52,980
- You're gonna seesaw?
- Yeah.

1662
01:50:53,190 --> 01:50:55,818
- Who's gonna push you?
- My mommy's gonna push me.

1663
01:50:56,026 --> 01:50:58,119
Yeah?

1664
01:50:58,328 --> 01:51:00,660
That's good.
l wish l could go with you.

1665
01:51:00,864 --> 01:51:03,765
- Come on, baby.
- But l'll see you later, okay?

1666
01:51:03,967 --> 01:51:06,094
- Bye.
- Bye.

1667
01:51:11,741 --> 01:51:12,935
How you been?

1668
01:51:15,045 --> 01:51:16,774
Good.

1669
01:51:17,380 --> 01:51:19,507
You look good.

1670
01:51:19,716 --> 01:51:22,685
Thank you. So do you.

1671
01:51:22,886 --> 01:51:24,911
Considering.

1672
01:51:29,392 --> 01:51:33,328
You know, everything's been crazy,
with the lockout.

1673
01:51:33,530 --> 01:51:34,997
Yeah, it'll be all right.

1674
01:51:35,999 --> 01:51:37,762
For sure.

1675
01:51:37,968 --> 01:51:39,868
Can we sit down somewhere?

1676
01:51:59,889 --> 01:52:03,518
l've been trying to get my head
straight about things.

1677
01:52:03,727 --> 01:52:06,321
A lot of things. Especially us.

1678
01:52:06,529 --> 01:52:09,191
- Kenny, l--
- Kyra, just listen.

1679
01:52:10,100 --> 01:52:12,159
Please.

1680
01:52:13,603 --> 01:52:18,768
For a long time, it's just been
my moms, my boys and you.

1681
01:52:18,975 --> 01:52:20,533
And that's what l counted on.

1682
01:52:20,910 --> 01:52:24,471
l'm trying to count on myself now,
and l'm all right and shit,

1683
01:52:24,681 --> 01:52:29,050
it's just, without you,
nothing good feels as good.

1684
01:52:29,486 --> 01:52:34,082
lt's like l'm missing
some happy part of me.

1685
01:52:45,468 --> 01:52:47,299
l got you something.

1686
01:52:49,272 --> 01:52:51,035
And it ain't from the 99 Cent Store.

1687
01:52:53,143 --> 01:52:55,338
Shut up.

1688
01:52:59,115 --> 01:53:01,310
- They gave you a scholarship?
- Yeah, baby, a full ride.

1689
01:53:01,518 --> 01:53:06,217
Oh, my gosh. That is crazy.

1690
01:53:06,423 --> 01:53:08,618
Oh, my gosh.

1691
01:53:08,825 --> 01:53:10,588
l know you gonna kill it up there.

1692
01:53:10,794 --> 01:53:13,262
No, we gonna kill it up there.

1693
01:53:13,463 --> 01:53:15,863
l told them about you and the baby.
They wanna help us.

1694
01:53:28,311 --> 01:53:29,903
Kenyon...

1695
01:53:30,847 --> 01:53:32,906
...there is no more baby.

1696
01:53:36,720 --> 01:53:39,917
l decided not to go through with it.

1697
01:53:40,924 --> 01:53:43,051
Kyra.

1698
01:53:43,727 --> 01:53:46,423
l had a choice to make,

1699
01:53:46,629 --> 01:53:49,063
so l made it.

1700
01:53:49,265 --> 01:53:51,699
For me, Kenny.

1701
01:53:54,170 --> 01:53:57,537
Well, when...?

1702
01:53:57,741 --> 01:54:01,268
Why didn't you tell me?
l would have gone with you.

1703
01:54:05,915 --> 01:54:07,780
l'm so sorry.

1704
01:54:08,985 --> 01:54:12,113
Kyra, l'm so sorry you had to
go through that by yourself.

1705
01:54:14,491 --> 01:54:17,289
My mom went with me.

1706
01:54:19,028 --> 01:54:20,655
But l think that...

1707
01:54:20,864 --> 01:54:26,564
l think you should go to school
and play ball and do your thing.

1708
01:54:26,770 --> 01:54:28,362
You know?

1709
01:54:28,571 --> 01:54:32,029
l want that for you. And that's real.

1710
01:54:32,876 --> 01:54:35,174
l think you should be all you can.

1711
01:54:37,414 --> 01:54:39,644
l want you to come with me.

1712
01:54:42,452 --> 01:54:44,317
Kyra, l love you.

1713
01:54:44,921 --> 01:54:46,650
l want you to come with me.

1714
01:54:47,824 --> 01:54:50,054
- You serious?
- l'm serious.

1715
01:54:50,860 --> 01:54:53,124
- Oh, my God.
- l love you.

1716
01:54:53,329 --> 01:54:55,559
l love you too.

1717
01:55:03,540 --> 01:55:04,768
Ken Carter.

1718
01:55:06,876 --> 01:55:09,140
l understand, sir.

1719
01:55:09,979 --> 01:55:12,004
All right. Thank you, sir.

1720
01:55:20,790 --> 01:55:22,314
We're in.

1721
01:55:24,060 --> 01:55:25,652
That's what l'm talking about.

1722
01:55:32,235 --> 01:55:35,170
Guys, guys, guys. Now, listen.

1723
01:55:35,371 --> 01:55:37,669
lt's not gonna be easy.
lt's gonna be a long road.

1724
01:55:38,374 --> 01:55:41,434
- We're a really low seed.
- Who did we get, coach?

1725
01:55:43,279 --> 01:55:44,871
St. Francis.

1726
01:55:45,081 --> 01:55:46,571
St. Francis?

1727
01:55:46,783 --> 01:55:49,946
Coach, they ranked number one
in the state.

1728
01:55:51,221 --> 01:55:54,247
Hey, yo, Junior, man, don't worry
about Ty Crane, dog. You'll get him.

1729
01:55:54,691 --> 01:55:58,092
We got this. That's all right, baby.
One game at a time. We got this.

1730
01:55:58,294 --> 01:56:00,194
- All right, guys.
- lt's on.

1731
01:56:09,205 --> 01:56:12,368
- Bring your A game, young man.
- Yes, sir.

1732
01:56:43,806 --> 01:56:47,799
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen,
to the first round of the ClF playoffs.

1733
01:56:48,011 --> 01:56:51,447
St. Francis is one of the best
high school teams in the nation,

1734
01:56:51,648 --> 01:56:53,513
with Ty Crane
believed to be a shoo-in

1735
01:56:53,716 --> 01:56:56,412
for the top NBA draft pick next year.

1736
01:56:56,619 --> 01:56:59,110
On the other side of the court
is Richmond,

1737
01:56:59,322 --> 01:57:01,620
a team that's had
a media-worthy season as well.

1738
01:57:02,058 --> 01:57:04,959
Richmond High has never played
in a state tournament.

1739
01:57:05,161 --> 01:57:08,494
Let's go. Let's go, let's go.

1740
01:57:13,570 --> 01:57:15,629
- Settle down, settle down.
- 1 -4!

1741
01:57:19,142 --> 01:57:20,632
Ball, ball.

1742
01:57:20,843 --> 01:57:22,435
Move, move.

1743
01:57:27,083 --> 01:57:28,778
Good shot, baby.

1744
01:57:30,253 --> 01:57:32,813
- Get back, get back.
- Run motion. Run motion.

1745
01:57:33,022 --> 01:57:34,614
Motion 44.

1746
01:57:38,895 --> 01:57:40,385
Right here, right here. Swing it.

1747
01:57:43,132 --> 01:57:44,895
Force him left. Force him left.

1748
01:57:50,673 --> 01:57:54,165
You gotta force him left.
The baseline's another defender.

1749
01:57:56,846 --> 01:57:58,575
D up!

1750
01:58:03,586 --> 01:58:05,554
Better get somebody else to hold me.
l'm dropping 50.

1751
01:58:07,924 --> 01:58:09,255
Set up!

1752
01:58:13,563 --> 01:58:16,225
Come on. Get on him, get on him.

1753
01:58:17,000 --> 01:58:19,491
Get over here and help.
He shouldn't be scoring.

1754
01:58:19,702 --> 01:58:21,363
Get back, get back. Bring it in.

1755
01:58:23,072 --> 01:58:25,302
Get back, get back.
Find your man, find your man.

1756
01:58:25,508 --> 01:58:27,533
Now, watch out. Watch that trap.

1757
01:58:27,744 --> 01:58:31,202
Watch the trap. Motion. Motion.
That's the one.

1758
01:58:32,882 --> 01:58:35,180
That's it. Yes! Yes!

1759
01:58:35,385 --> 01:58:38,946
S-C-O-R-E! Score! Score!

1760
01:58:41,624 --> 01:58:43,421
Ball, ball. Ball, man!

1761
01:58:50,266 --> 01:58:53,030
Lyle, stop the ball.
Less talk out there.

1762
01:59:03,279 --> 01:59:07,409
Come on, come on, come on.
Let's go, Richmond!

1763
01:59:07,617 --> 01:59:10,279
You gotta help Junior
on the weak-side pick.

1764
01:59:14,891 --> 01:59:19,123
- Delilah! Delilah!
- Defense! Defense!

1765
01:59:19,328 --> 01:59:21,558
- Defense! Defense!
- Delilah! Delilah!

1766
01:59:21,764 --> 01:59:23,231
Delilah! Delilah!

1767
01:59:24,901 --> 01:59:27,495
- Get there, get there.
- Trap, trap, trap. Left side, left side.

1768
01:59:40,049 --> 01:59:43,177
- Use the pick, use the pick.
- l got it.

1769
01:59:45,822 --> 01:59:49,019
- Yeah! That's what l'm talking about.
- Foul, number three.

1770
01:59:49,225 --> 01:59:50,283
- Hold up.
- Number three.

1771
01:59:50,493 --> 01:59:53,257
- Mustangs, bring it in. Bring it in.
- Count the basket.

1772
01:59:53,463 --> 01:59:55,795
- Damn.
- Timeout, sir. Time.

1773
01:59:55,998 --> 01:59:58,694
Come here, come here. Damn it.

1774
02:00:00,636 --> 02:00:03,002
Come on, guys,
keep up the defense!

1775
02:00:03,206 --> 02:00:05,697
Come on, what you gonna do?

1776
02:00:06,109 --> 02:00:08,805
We still in this game.
Come on, fellas.

1777
02:00:09,612 --> 02:00:12,945
Gentlemen, you told me
you deserved to be here.

1778
02:00:13,149 --> 02:00:14,707
Well, you're not playing like it.

1779
02:00:14,917 --> 02:00:17,784
All season long,
we played our game.

1780
02:00:17,987 --> 02:00:20,387
Right now, you're playing theirs.

1781
02:00:20,590 --> 02:00:24,492
When we step on the floor,
every second that clock is ticking,

1782
02:00:24,694 --> 02:00:26,719
we are pedal to the metal.

1783
02:00:26,929 --> 02:00:29,454
We run the ball.
We pressure the ball.

1784
02:00:29,665 --> 02:00:34,967
And most importantly,
we control the tempo of the game!

1785
02:00:35,171 --> 02:00:39,801
We make them play
Richmond Oiler ball.

1786
02:00:40,009 --> 02:00:42,000
Worm, you can take this kid.

1787
02:00:42,211 --> 02:00:43,735
Force him left,
and when he crosses over,

1788
02:00:43,946 --> 02:00:46,972
you jump him.
Damien, push the tempo.

1789
02:00:47,183 --> 02:00:49,515
Kenyon, Lyle, crash the boards.

1790
02:00:49,719 --> 02:00:53,246
Cruz, when you're in the game in
transition, take that jumper you love.

1791
02:00:53,689 --> 02:00:56,157
Junior, just keep doing
what you're doing.

1792
02:00:56,359 --> 02:00:58,224
Hold on to that monster.

1793
02:00:58,427 --> 02:01:01,794
You do those things, gentlemen,
and l guarantee you,

1794
02:01:01,998 --> 02:01:05,900
at the end of the game,
we will be there.

1795
02:01:08,371 --> 02:01:10,532
All right, hands in.

1796
02:01:10,740 --> 02:01:13,334
- Game time.
- All right, take control of this game.

1797
02:01:13,543 --> 02:01:14,737
Who's gonna win this game?

1798
02:01:14,944 --> 02:01:18,471
One, two, three, Richmond!
Let's go. Let's do this.

1799
02:01:22,418 --> 02:01:24,909
One, two, three, Mustangs!

1800
02:01:32,628 --> 02:01:35,062
- Get up, get up.
- Go, go, go.

1801
02:01:43,105 --> 02:01:44,231
Yes.

1802
02:01:47,977 --> 02:01:50,343
- Reach-in foul.
- That's the only damn one.

1803
02:01:50,546 --> 02:01:54,038
- How you gonna call that on me, ref?
- Good call, ref.

1804
02:01:54,250 --> 02:01:56,718
Cruz. ln for Kenyon.

1805
02:01:59,555 --> 02:02:03,013
- Ball, ball, ball, ball.
- Run it, run it, run it.

1806
02:02:17,006 --> 02:02:19,167
Get back, get back!
Everybody get back.

1807
02:02:19,709 --> 02:02:21,438
Yeah! Come on!

1808
02:02:41,597 --> 02:02:43,326
Get back, get back, get back.

1809
02:02:52,775 --> 02:02:54,367
Ref, you gotta call that.
This is my house.

1810
02:02:54,577 --> 02:02:56,636
- Push, push.
- Can we get a call?

1811
02:03:05,187 --> 02:03:07,951
Take care of the ball, man.
l'm gonna catch my breath.

1812
02:03:17,199 --> 02:03:18,461
Come on. Get back, get back.

1813
02:03:23,472 --> 02:03:25,167
Swing it right here. l got it.

1814
02:03:29,578 --> 02:03:30,977
Charge.

1815
02:03:33,015 --> 02:03:35,347
- Go get them, boys.
- Yeah, baby.

1816
02:03:35,551 --> 02:03:38,452
Charge, number 30. Red ball.

1817
02:03:38,654 --> 02:03:40,884
Come on, ref,
you wasn't even there.

1818
02:03:46,395 --> 02:03:49,558
- Red ball, red ball. Red, red, red.
- Yes. Yes.

1819
02:03:49,765 --> 02:03:51,062
- Richmond's ball.
- What?

1820
02:03:51,267 --> 02:03:53,633
Okay, let's go. Let's go.

1821
02:04:01,143 --> 02:04:02,633
- Red ball.
- Junior, good block!

1822
02:04:03,512 --> 02:04:05,980
- l know that's a foul.
- lt's all ball.

1823
02:04:06,182 --> 02:04:08,742
- What are you talking about?
- What's up, man?

1824
02:04:12,054 --> 02:04:14,022
Knock his bitch ass out.

1825
02:04:14,223 --> 02:04:16,157
Calm down, man.
We're still in the game.

1826
02:04:16,592 --> 02:04:17,718
Come on.

1827
02:04:18,461 --> 02:04:19,951
- Ease back.
- Bring it in. Bring it in.

1828
02:04:22,999 --> 02:04:25,126
Get out of my way, man. Get off me.

1829
02:04:26,535 --> 02:04:29,060
Let's go, let's go.

1830
02:04:29,271 --> 02:04:32,399
All right, baby, it's all us now.
lt's all us. Let's go.

1831
02:04:41,584 --> 02:04:44,553
They're standing on the edge of a cliff.
All we gotta do is push them off.

1832
02:04:45,021 --> 02:04:46,045
We're gonna run Candy.

1833
02:04:46,255 --> 02:04:48,246
Worm, you gotta sell them
the pass to Damien.

1834
02:04:48,457 --> 02:04:51,255
Junior, we come to you
on the weak-side seal.

1835
02:04:51,460 --> 02:04:53,587
But, gentlemen,
just because you deserve this

1836
02:04:53,796 --> 02:04:55,388
doesn't mean they're gonna
give it to you.

1837
02:04:55,598 --> 02:04:59,466
Sometimes you gotta take
what's yours. You ready to do this?

1838
02:04:59,668 --> 02:05:01,260
- Hell, yeah.
- Let's go.

1839
02:05:01,470 --> 02:05:03,836
- All right, hands in.
- Come on, take this.

1840
02:05:04,040 --> 02:05:06,167
Richmond on three.
One, two, three, Richmond!

1841
02:05:13,582 --> 02:05:16,142
- Careful of the foul, all right? Let's go.
- l got you. 1 -4, 1 -4!

1842
02:05:17,253 --> 02:05:19,915
- All right.
- Defense! Mustangs!

1843
02:05:20,122 --> 02:05:21,953
Let's go, let's go, let's go.

1844
02:05:24,794 --> 02:05:26,921
Candy! Candy!

1845
02:05:30,666 --> 02:05:32,657
Ball, Damien.

1846
02:05:37,373 --> 02:05:40,137
- Move, move.
- Help, help.

1847
02:05:56,525 --> 02:05:58,584
Get back, get back, get back!

1848
02:06:03,065 --> 02:06:04,498
Junior, get back!

1849
02:06:15,377 --> 02:06:17,242
Hands up!

1850
02:06:31,360 --> 02:06:34,090
Yeah, that's what l'm
talking about, baby. Yeah!

1851
02:07:26,081 --> 02:07:29,209
Mustangs! Mustangs!

1852
02:07:30,486 --> 02:07:33,922
Hold on, hold on. Let me down,
let me down. Battle, Battle! Battle!

1853
02:07:36,625 --> 02:07:39,617
You're real, man.
l mean that. All right?

1854
02:07:40,429 --> 02:07:43,398
All right? Keep your head up, baby.

1855
02:07:56,111 --> 02:07:58,875
Well, not quite
your storybook ending, huh?

1856
02:07:59,081 --> 02:08:01,515
Not for us, anyway.

1857
02:08:03,319 --> 02:08:06,914
But you men played like champions.

1858
02:08:07,122 --> 02:08:08,783
You never gave up.

1859
02:08:09,592 --> 02:08:13,688
And champions
hold their heads high.

1860
02:08:13,896 --> 02:08:17,332
What you achieved goes way beyond
the win-loss column

1861
02:08:17,533 --> 02:08:19,330
or what's gonna be written
on the front page

1862
02:08:19,535 --> 02:08:22,060
of the sports section tomorrow.

1863
02:08:22,271 --> 02:08:24,068
You've achieved something
that some people

1864
02:08:24,273 --> 02:08:27,868
spend their whole lives trying to find.

1865
02:08:28,077 --> 02:08:34,038
What you achieved
is that ever-elusive victory within.

1866
02:08:35,351 --> 02:08:37,080
And, gentlemen...

1867
02:08:37,953 --> 02:08:41,389
...l am so proud of you.

1868
02:08:44,660 --> 02:08:48,528
Four months ago, when l took
the job at Richmond, l had a plan.

1869
02:08:49,198 --> 02:08:51,666
That plan failed.

1870
02:08:51,867 --> 02:08:56,668
l came to coach basketball players,
and you became students.

1871
02:08:58,073 --> 02:09:00,473
l came to teach boys...

1872
02:09:01,010 --> 02:09:03,103
...and you became men.

1873
02:09:03,646 --> 02:09:05,443
And for that, l thank you.

1874
02:09:09,351 --> 02:09:12,320
lf someone walked in this door
right now

1875
02:09:12,521 --> 02:09:18,118
and offered me the coaching job
at any school in the state of California,

1876
02:09:18,327 --> 02:09:21,091
you know which team l'd choose?

1877
02:09:21,297 --> 02:09:23,390
St. Francis?

1878
02:09:23,999 --> 02:09:26,229
l'm just saying, man.

1879
02:09:27,202 --> 02:09:29,261
Kenyon?

1880
02:09:33,075 --> 02:09:35,407
- Richmond?
- Rich what?

1881
02:09:36,578 --> 02:09:38,546
- Richmond.
- Rich what?

1882
02:09:38,747 --> 02:09:39,907
Richmond.

1883
02:09:40,115 --> 02:09:42,709
- Rich what?
- Richmond.

1884
02:09:42,918 --> 02:09:45,079
- Where we from?
- Richmond!

1885
02:09:45,287 --> 02:09:47,721
- What's my hometown?
- Richmond!

1886
02:09:47,923 --> 02:09:49,948
- What do we love?
- Richmond!

1887
02:09:50,159 --> 02:09:52,423
- Rich what?
- Richmond!
