(projector continues whirring)
430
00:18:38,700 --> 00:18:39,993
Nineteen seconds.
431
00:18:40,077 --> 00:18:42,496
That's three plays,
two conversions,
432
00:18:42,579 --> 00:18:45,332
62 seconds of game time,
for four points a minute,
433
00:18:45,415 --> 00:18:48,126
which, at a roughly
66% conversion rate,
434
00:18:48,210 --> 00:18:50,337
that's close to a
hundred points a game.
435
00:18:50,420 --> 00:18:53,048
In line with the league
average because this
436
00:18:53,131 --> 00:18:56,385
is how everybody in the
league plays basketball.
437
00:18:56,468 --> 00:19:00,722
Methodical,
predictable, and slow.
438

game, this happens.

(no audio)
440
00:19:05,310 --> 00:19:08,981
Five seconds. Three sets
of hands. One easy basket.
441
00:19:09,064 --> 00:19:11,108
So, why do you guys
442
00:19:11,191 --> 00:19:13,443
only do this six or
seven times a contest?
443
00:19:13,527 --> 00:19:14,921
Ron Boone: Because
it ain't a choice.
444
00:19:14,945 --> 00:19:17,197
They miss, we get the rebound,
445
00:19:17,281 --> 00:19:20,117
maybe a steal, we get out
ahead, and we go for it.
446
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:21,594
Ain't no way we can
do that all the time.
447
00:19:21,618 --> 00:19:23,638
- Why not?
- Breaking ain't something we can count on.
448
00:19:23,662 --> 00:19:26,164
Not when you're only running
off of other teams' mistakes,
449
00:19:26,248 --> 00:19:27,583
misses, and steals.
450
00:19:27,666 --> 00:19:29,251
That's why, from now on,
451
00:19:29,334 --> 00:19:31,795
we won't wait for anyone
to give us breaks.
452
00:19:31,879 --> 00:19:33,630

It makes a pretty melody, but
it's the same song every time,

knows exactly where it's going.

him, roast him. I don't care.

Just get rid of him.
The rest of it, I like.

Jeanie, why don't you
introduce these two
529

to the marching band
and cheer squad at SC?
530

What?

00:23:04,382 --> 00:23:07,803
- Nothing, if you think this is...
- You said he liked this kind of stuff.
533

He does, at college games.
534

But it's sort of
the same, isn't it?

after something new.

858
00:37:06,682 --> 00:37:09,393
Motherfuck, what was that?
859
00:37:09,477 --> 00:37:12,730
- Should we, uh...
- No, no, no. Learn by doing.
860
00:37:12,813 --> 00:37:14,273
What the ruck, rook?
861
00:37:14,357 --> 00:37:16,293
- Boone: This shit ain't gonna work, man.
- Nixon: Come on, Boone.
862
00:37:16,317 --> 00:37:17,753
You know how it go,
man. You want the ball,
863
00:37:17,777 --> 00:37:19,004
- you gotta get out.
- (blows whistle)
864
00:37:19,028 --> 00:37:21,239
- Oh, come on!
- That's right. Let's go.
865
00:37:21,322 --> 00:37:22,907
McKinney: No more
one-on-one! Let's go!
866
00:37:23,699 --> 00:37:25,159
(thudding)
867
00:37:27,536 --> 00:37:29,705
(ball bouncing)
868
00:37:30,498 --> 00:37:32,959
(laughs) Good pick.
869
00:37:33,042 --> 00:37:35,503
Too bad nobody called
it out for you.
870
00:37:35,586 --> 00:37:37,397
- Good though work, Young Buck.
- (blows whistle)
871
00:37:37,421 --> 00:37:39,924
McKinney: Alright,
guys, bring it in.
872
00:37:40,007 --> 00:37:41,401
I know you're all
tired, but we have to
873
00:37:41,425 --> 00:37:43,135
train our bodies
to push past that.
874
00:37:43,219 --> 00:37:44,512
When crunch time comes,
875
00:37:44,595 --> 00:37:46,235
the other team is
tugging on their shorts,
876
00:37:46,305 --> 00:37:47,848
we'll be lacing up
our track shoes,
877
00:37:47,932 --> 00:37:49,433
run them off the court, right?
878
00:37:49,517 --> 00:37:51,936
(players grumbling)
879
00:37:52,019 --> 00:37:53,779
- Right? Yeah, right.
- (murmuring agreement)
880
00:37:53,813 --> 00:37:55,815
Westhead: Let's hit the
baseline for suicides.
881
00:37:55,898 --> 00:37:58,192
(shoes squeaking)
882
00:37:58,275 --> 00:37:59,819
Johnson: Come on, y'all!
883
00:37:59,902 --> 00:38:02,488
Just a few more drills, Cap.
884
00:38:02,571 --> 00:38:04,323
Not me, Jeff.
885
00:38:04,407 --> 00:38:07,201
Oh, no, no, I-I'm Paul.
886
00:38:07,284 --> 00:38:10,288
I mean, call me Jeff, but
I'm... My name is Paul.
887
00:38:10,371 --> 00:38:12,665
- Uh...
- (drops shoe)
888
00:38:14,625 --> 00:38:16,585
- (shoes squeaking)
- Look alive, look alive!
889
00:38:16,669 --> 00:38:19,588
(showers running) - Player: No,
we have not been here before, man.
890
00:38:19,672 --> 00:38:21,340
Dantley: Y'all
acting like he ain't
891
00:38:21,424 --> 00:38:23,759
got us out here runnin'
suicides like slaves.
892
00:38:23,843 --> 00:38:26,470
Suicides? Man, I'm
thinking homicide.
893
00:38:26,554 --> 00:38:28,323
Man the whole damn thing
is just an experiment,
894
00:38:28,347 --> 00:38:30,227
- and we the guinea pig.
- I can't feel my feet.
895
00:38:30,266 --> 00:38:31,868
Somebody gotta hit the
brass what's going on
896
00:38:31,892 --> 00:38:33,227
before one of us get hurt.
897
00:38:33,310 --> 00:38:35,896
Y'all see West hanging around
here like a goddamn fruit bat?
898
00:38:35,980 --> 00:38:37,523
He ain't sold on this
McKinney, either.
899
00:38:37,606 --> 00:38:40,818
- He ought to hear it ain't working.
- Heard that. You with it, Cap?
900
00:38:43,612 --> 00:38:44,864
(slams locker)
901
00:38:44,947 --> 00:38:46,699
(Kareem Abdul-Jabbar sighs)
902
00:38:49,702 --> 00:38:50,828
I'll pass.
903
00:38:51,912 --> 00:38:53,039
He'll pass. You really gonna
904
00:38:53,122 --> 00:38:56,125
leave us hangin'
like that, brother?
905
00:38:56,208 --> 00:38:58,586
Aight, look. Cap too
dignified to do him-damn-self,
906
00:38:58,669 --> 00:39:00,814
- but somebody gotta do it.
- Don't look this way, jack.
907
00:39:00,838 --> 00:39:02,339
(overlapping denying)
908
00:39:02,423 --> 00:39:03,674
I like the exercise.
909
00:39:03,758 --> 00:39:05,051
Fuck all y'all bitches!
910
00:39:05,134 --> 00:39:07,094
Norm, what you say, brother?
911
00:39:07,178 --> 00:39:09,430
Don't look at me. I got a
ménage à trois lined up,
912
00:39:09,513 --> 00:39:11,599
- so...
- Hey, I can speak on it.
913
00:39:11,682 --> 00:39:13,642
Me and Buss cooler than a fan.
914
00:39:13,726 --> 00:39:15,269
Y'all think McKinney
pushin' too hard,
915
00:39:15,352 --> 00:39:16,979
boss should know
about it, right?
916
00:39:17,063 --> 00:39:18,689
Is that a rookie?
917
00:39:19,857 --> 00:39:21,692
In grown folks' business?
918
00:39:25,488 --> 00:39:27,698
See me when you
put in some time.
919
00:39:29,366 --> 00:39:31,160
If I'm just a rook,
920
00:39:31,243 --> 00:39:34,038
how come I'm the one
that got the guarantee?
921
00:39:34,121 --> 00:39:36,415
More bread than all
y'all, besides Cap.
922
00:39:36,499 --> 00:39:39,376
- This motherfucker. Really?
- Johnson: Look,
923
00:39:39,460 --> 00:39:43,255
- all I'm saying is I'm cool to be the one to rap to Buss.
- (Boone laughs)
924
00:39:43,339 --> 00:39:44,965
And what you gonna
tell him, huh?
925
00:39:46,008 --> 00:39:47,134
Your Black ass out here
926
00:39:47,218 --> 00:39:48,928
tomming like a slave
on a plantation.
927
00:39:49,011 --> 00:39:51,972
"Yeah, I-I sho's likes
what you doin', Coach!
928
00:39:52,056 --> 00:39:54,058
- "I runs as fast as you can!"
- (laughter)
929
00:39:54,141 --> 00:39:57,394
(laughs) That's
right, Young Buck!
930
00:39:58,437 --> 00:40:00,397
That's right.
931
00:40:00,481 --> 00:40:03,818
You can't speak for a team that
don't want you on it. Shit.
932
00:40:05,945 --> 00:40:07,696
Johnson: You should've
seen them, Cook.
933
00:40:07,780 --> 00:40:10,574
- They hate me.
- Cookie (on phone): Stop the presses.
934
00:40:10,658 --> 00:40:12,868
Somebody somewhere
935
00:40:12,952 --> 00:40:15,579
- isn't worshiping the ground you walk on?
- (scoffs)
936
00:40:15,663 --> 00:40:18,499
It ain't about that.
It's about the game.
937
00:40:18,582 --> 00:40:21,794
How I'm supposed to spread
the love if I can't feel it?
938
00:40:21,877 --> 00:40:24,255
But, Kareem won't
even talk to me.
939
00:40:24,338 --> 00:40:26,549
Norm's scared I'ma
take his spot.
940
00:40:26,632 --> 00:40:28,592
They all busy
worrying about them.
941
00:40:28,676 --> 00:40:30,678
When they should be
worrying about you?
942
00:40:30,761 --> 00:40:33,013
I don't want 'em
worried about nothing!
943
00:40:33,097 --> 00:40:35,057
I want them having fun.
944
00:40:35,141 --> 00:40:37,518
Cook, I could get
these dudes the ball
945
00:40:37,601 --> 00:40:39,937
in spaces they ain't
never seen before.
946
00:40:40,020 --> 00:40:42,148
We could all just
be one happy family,
947
00:40:42,231 --> 00:40:43,607
just like it was at State.
948
00:40:43,691 --> 00:40:46,235
If that's how you remember it...
949
00:40:46,318 --> 00:40:48,737
That's how it be.
My team be my boys.
950
00:40:48,821 --> 00:40:51,031
You recall the night
you met me, Earvin?
951
00:40:51,115 --> 00:40:53,826
- Yeah, that Bama-ass church party.
- Cookie: Uh-huh.
952
00:40:53,909 --> 00:40:54,994
Where I was on a date
953
00:40:55,077 --> 00:40:57,997
with Londell Owens.
Your boy, Londell Owens?
954
00:40:58,080 --> 00:40:59,874
Yeah. Me and Lonnie still cool.
955
00:40:59,957 --> 00:41:03,752
Cool wasn't how he sounded
when he called me the next day.
956
00:41:03,836 --> 00:41:05,337
"Earvin ain't shit.
957
00:41:05,421 --> 00:41:08,674
Don't trust him far
as you can see him."
958
00:41:08,757 --> 00:41:11,427
- And that's just for starters.
- Ah, he just talkin' shit.
959
00:41:11,510 --> 00:41:13,721
About you. To me.
960
00:41:13,804 --> 00:41:17,224
Because you were the star on
the team, and he needed that.
961
00:41:17,308 --> 00:41:19,727
And you can bet he wasn't the
only one biting his tongue.
962
00:41:19,810 --> 00:41:22,062
Hey, Cook, you don't know
what you talking about.
963
00:41:22,146 --> 00:41:23,689
Those dudes and
me, we won it all.
964
00:41:23,772 --> 00:41:26,525
Yes. You did. And what
difference did it make?
965
00:41:26,609 --> 00:41:30,070
What they thought or what
they said behind your back?
966
00:41:32,615 --> 00:41:34,366
Just because you want
everyone to love you,
967
00:41:34,450 --> 00:41:36,952
Earvin, doesn't
mean you need it.
968
00:41:37,036 --> 00:41:39,496
You know, you makin' me sound
like a real bad dude right now.
969
00:41:39,580 --> 00:41:43,792
Cookie: Just tellin' you the
truth, how real friends do.
970
00:41:43,876 --> 00:41:47,922
We ain't friends! You just
some chick I used to hit!
971
00:41:48,005 --> 00:41:50,132
(whispers): Wow, oh my...
972
00:41:51,258 --> 00:41:52,885
Cool.
973
00:41:52,968 --> 00:41:54,887
- Cook...
- Don't.
974
00:41:54,970 --> 00:41:56,555
Call. Again.
975
00:41:56,639 --> 00:41:58,479
- Johnson: Cook, I didn't...
- (slams receiver)
976
00:42:01,101 --> 00:42:02,978
- (smack)
- Fuck...
977
00:42:03,062 --> 00:42:05,064
- McKinney: Run it!
- You ain't got shit.
978
00:42:05,147 --> 00:42:07,107
McKinney: Pass the ball!
979
00:42:07,191 --> 00:42:09,193
- (blows whistle)
- What the fuck? I ran!
980
00:42:09,276 --> 00:42:10,861
Again!
981
00:42:11,654 --> 00:42:13,405
Right into traffic!
982
00:42:13,489 --> 00:42:15,300
(blows whistle) -What's the
matter? You tired, sweetheart?
983
00:42:15,324 --> 00:42:17,636
- Keep your heads up, pass the ball... Again!
- (blows whistle)
984
00:42:17,660 --> 00:42:19,828
And trust the flow! No
more one-on-one! Again!
985
00:42:19,912 --> 00:42:21,514
- Flow means water. Again!
- (blows whistle)
986
00:42:21,538 --> 00:42:23,749
No more one-on-one!
Again! Again!
987
00:42:23,832 --> 00:42:24,959
- Again! Agai...
- (shouting)
988
00:42:25,042 --> 00:42:26,710
- (knocking)
- Yep?
989
00:42:28,045 --> 00:42:30,172
What's going on?
990
00:42:30,256 --> 00:42:32,132
We was hoping we
could talk, Coach.
991
00:42:32,216 --> 00:42:34,969
Uh... No. Jerry. Just Jerry.
Fuckin' coach is down the hall.
992
00:42:35,052 --> 00:42:37,721
Yeah, that's the thing.
Alright, you got a minute?
993
00:42:37,805 --> 00:42:39,431
Ah, come on in. Come on in.
994
00:42:46,021 --> 00:42:48,440
What the fuck? Oh shit.
995
00:42:48,524 --> 00:42:50,609
Oh, you too, Norm, huh?
996
00:42:50,693 --> 00:42:53,362
- Yeah...
- Alright then. What's on your mind?
997
00:42:53,445 --> 00:42:55,674
Coach, we got a bone to pick
with this McKinney motherfucker.
998
00:42:55,698 --> 00:42:57,676
Yeah, th-this run-and-gun
method he got us doing, man,
999
00:42:57,700 --> 00:43:02,288
- we can't keep doing this every game.
- Norm, you feel the same way?
1000
00:43:02,371 --> 00:43:04,432
- Come on. Get it off your chest.
- Nixon: I don't know.
1001
00:43:04,456 --> 00:43:05,850
Maybe this McKinney
is onto something.
1002
00:43:05,874 --> 00:43:08,585
We could just try some new shit.
If it doesn't work, then...
1003
00:43:08,669 --> 00:43:11,898
- Player: Nah, fuck that, Norm!
- Boone: Motherfucker, you was just on our side a minute ago!
1004
00:43:11,922 --> 00:43:15,759
- (overlapping yelling)
- Landsberger, where you at?
1005
00:43:16,510 --> 00:43:18,178
He called me fat.
1006
00:43:19,346 --> 00:43:21,265
(smooth music playing)
1007
00:43:21,348 --> 00:43:24,852
I saw your father in the
desert, happy as a rotten clam.
1008
00:43:24,935 --> 00:43:26,979
Shouldn't you be
out there with him?
1009
00:43:27,062 --> 00:43:30,107
- (dice rattling)
- He asked me if I wanted to,
1010
00:43:30,190 --> 00:43:33,193
but I've been working
long days with the team.
1011
00:43:33,277 --> 00:43:35,195
Don't let yourself
get too close.
1012
00:43:35,279 --> 00:43:38,032
- They'll expect you to be honest.
- (rolls dice)
1013
00:43:40,617 --> 00:43:42,244
Honest about what?
1014
00:43:43,078 --> 00:43:45,664
♪ ♪
1015
00:43:45,748 --> 00:43:47,833
Oh, come on.
1016
00:43:47,916 --> 00:43:50,127
Those doe eyes work on Daddy.
1017
00:43:50,210 --> 00:43:52,379
I know better.
1018
00:43:52,463 --> 00:43:55,090
My girl pays attention.
1019
00:43:55,174 --> 00:43:56,300
(soft chuckle)
1020
00:43:58,302 --> 00:44:01,013
I heard you talking
about some money stuff.
1021
00:44:02,014 --> 00:44:04,558
But, he won't talk to me.
1022
00:44:04,641 --> 00:44:06,369
And every time I try and
