I don't hate for change.

Hmm.

00:24:59,331 --> 00:25:01,500
I worked a mill line
in Wyoming.
574
00:25:01,583 --> 00:25:03,418

It's expensive is what it is.
It's a very fine fish.
585

A delicacy.
Take my word for it.
586
00:25:34,241 --> 00:25:35,617
Right.
587
00:25:37,327 --> 00:25:38,995
Could I just get a cheeseburger?
588
00:25:39,079 --> 00:25:41,248
-(Jerry laughing)
-Earvin Johnson Sr.:
Earvin. Earvin.
589
00:25:41,331 --> 00:25:44,584
Come on, Jack.
The kid's 19.
Get him a burger.
590
00:25:44,668 --> 00:25:46,294
You want one, too,
Mr. Johnson?

00:25:50,382 --> 00:25:52,133
get this man a burger,
and get this young man
594
00:25:52,217 --> 00:25:54,135
right here a burger,
with cheese and all that?
595
00:25:54,219 --> 00:25:55,971
-Yeah, everything.
-Alright. Everything, the works.
596
00:25:56,054 --> 00:25:57,973
Whatever you got.
You want one, Jack?
597
00:25:58,056 --> 00:25:59,891
No, I'm enjoying my sand dab.

00:25:59,975 --> 00:26:02,686

(cutlery clinking)
601
00:26:10,902 --> 00:26:12,279
You should be aware,
young man,
602
00:26:12,362 --> 00:26:15,532
that we haven't settled
on a pick yet.
603
00:26:15,615 --> 00:26:18,451
That's cool. I haven't
settled on a team yet.
604
00:26:18,535 --> 00:26:23,123
But, he's not opposed
to a fair offer either.
Are you, son?
605
00:26:23,206 --> 00:26:25,834
This is a draft,
not free agency.
606
00:26:25,917 --> 00:26:28,086
Choice is ours.
He goes where he's told.
607
00:26:29,170 --> 00:26:31,756
Or I go back to school,
608
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,175
turn pro next year
for a different team.
609
00:26:34,259 --> 00:26:35,635
Huh.
610
00:26:35,719 --> 00:26:37,679
I'm thinkin' 600,000.
611
00:26:40,807 --> 00:26:42,767
(Jerry chuckling)
612
00:26:42,851 --> 00:26:46,855
Look here, son.
Lew Alcindor is
the league's biggest star.
613
00:26:46,938 --> 00:26:49,816
-Kareem.
-Cooke: Same difference.
614
00:26:49,899 --> 00:26:52,986
He's also one surly
son of a bitch negotiator,
615
00:26:53,069 --> 00:26:56,114
and we closed at 650.
616
00:26:56,197 --> 00:26:58,908
That's why six feels cool.
617
00:26:58,992 --> 00:27:00,869
I mean, for now.
618
00:27:00,952 --> 00:27:02,954
Plus tuition in
the summertime,
619
00:27:03,038 --> 00:27:05,749
so I can finish my degree,
and, you know, make Mama happy.
620
00:27:05,832 --> 00:27:08,585
Jerry Buss:
That's important. (laughs)
621
00:27:08,668 --> 00:27:10,628
-Don't underestimate mom.
-Four.
622
00:27:10,712 --> 00:27:12,922
And you can work your way
through school, young man,
623
00:27:13,006 --> 00:27:14,382
just like I did.
624
00:27:15,383 --> 00:27:17,427
Way I see it, Mr. Cooke,
625
00:27:17,510 --> 00:27:19,220
basketball is my work.
626
00:27:20,221 --> 00:27:22,057
And I'm worth six.
627
00:27:23,641 --> 00:27:25,185
This dab ain't half bad.
628
00:27:26,186 --> 00:27:27,771
Look here, boy.

632
00:27:38,740 --> 00:27:41,618
Mr. Cooke, do what
you want with your money.
633
00:27:41,701 --> 00:27:43,745
Hey, Pop, let's go
see some movie stars.
634
00:27:43,828 --> 00:27:45,121
Alright, boys!
635
00:27:45,205 --> 00:27:47,207
We're all boys here,
right? (clears throat)
636
00:27:47,290 --> 00:27:48,792
We're gonna
think it over.
637
00:27:48,875 --> 00:27:50,877
I-I'll walk you
fellows out, alright?
638
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,088
That alright, Jack?
It was a good lunch.
639
00:27:53,171 --> 00:27:55,965
I enjoyed that salad,
I'll tell you.
640
00:27:56,049 --> 00:27:59,094
Johnson Sr.:
We don't all get the world
right out the gate, son.
641
00:28:00,762 --> 00:28:02,806
More money than I've seen
in my entire life.
642
00:28:02,889 --> 00:28:04,432
That's what they're giving you,
and you say no?
643
00:28:04,516 --> 00:28:06,267
...really thrilled,
especially my husband.
644
00:28:07,310 --> 00:28:09,396
Look where we at, Pop.
645
00:28:09,479 --> 00:28:12,065
We in this fancy-ass hotel.
646
00:28:12,148 --> 00:28:14,401
They fly us out first class.
647
00:28:14,484 --> 00:28:16,486
They do all that shit
to get you primed up,
648
00:28:16,569 --> 00:28:19,280
so you jump at the first offer
they put in front of your face.
649
00:28:19,364 --> 00:28:22,158
Earvin, pull your head
out your ass.
650
00:28:23,993 --> 00:28:27,080
All I know is you got 400,000
651
00:28:27,163 --> 00:28:30,583
in the one hand,
nothing in the other.
652
00:28:30,667 --> 00:28:33,420
-Pretty simple choice to me.
-That's you, Pop.
653
00:28:34,796 --> 00:28:38,133
When I first got to Everett
with all them white kids,
654
00:28:38,216 --> 00:28:40,468
I was scared as hell.
655
00:28:40,552 --> 00:28:43,304
I could've looked down
and kept it moving,
656
00:28:43,388 --> 00:28:45,306
but I didn't.
657
00:28:45,390 --> 00:28:47,267
I looked them right in the eyes,
658
00:28:47,350 --> 00:28:51,062
gave them a smile
and a State Championship.
659
00:28:51,146 --> 00:28:52,689
(laughs)
660
00:28:52,772 --> 00:28:55,900
And now, they love
them some Magic.
661
00:28:55,984 --> 00:29:00,071
Just figured out a different
way to deal with them is all.
662
00:29:00,155 --> 00:29:03,241
I learned how to
make 'em feel good.
663
00:29:03,324 --> 00:29:04,784
You figure 'em out
just like that?
664
00:29:04,868 --> 00:29:08,413
(laughs) You can have pretty
much anything you want.
665
00:29:08,496 --> 00:29:11,791
You know how many
times I went left when
I should've gone right?
666
00:29:13,001 --> 00:29:14,419
Hm?
667
00:29:14,502 --> 00:29:17,839
Smiled when there
was nothing funny?
668
00:29:19,090 --> 00:29:21,676
Took less than I deserved,
669
00:29:21,759 --> 00:29:23,344
but bowed my head and said,
670
00:29:23,428 --> 00:29:26,139
"Thank you, sir,"
671
00:29:26,222 --> 00:29:29,017
so you could keep your
mind on playing ball?
672
00:29:29,100 --> 00:29:31,811
-Pop...
-And for all that,
673
00:29:31,895 --> 00:29:34,898
I get you... telling me...
674
00:29:34,981 --> 00:29:37,775
you know something
about this life I don't?
675
00:29:40,612 --> 00:29:41,738
Pop!
676
00:29:44,741 --> 00:29:46,951
(phone ringing)
677
00:29:48,369 --> 00:29:49,370
Hello?
678
00:29:49,454 --> 00:29:51,456
(applause on TV)
679
00:29:51,539 --> 00:29:53,416
Hey, Dr. Buss, what's up?
680
00:29:53,500 --> 00:29:55,793
West:
I mean, Moncrief's
my fuckin' guy.
681
00:29:55,877 --> 00:29:58,713
No, Mon-Moncrief is
100% my fuckin' guy.
682
00:29:58,796 --> 00:30:00,215
Come fucking business time,
683
00:30:00,298 --> 00:30:02,717
he was putting up 26, 27, 28.
684
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:04,594
He really posted
the same numbers.
685
00:30:04,677 --> 00:30:05,970
Scotch and soda.
686
00:30:06,054 --> 00:30:07,931
("Papa Loves Mambo"
by Perry Como playing)
687
00:30:08,014 --> 00:30:09,641
What you got there, Jer?
688
00:30:10,475 --> 00:30:12,101
Pictures of your sister.
689
00:30:13,686 --> 00:30:16,689
Sharman says you're
drafting Magic.

You thi-- think I--
Is that right?
692
00:30:24,113 --> 00:30:27,492
Hey, what kind of
doctor are you anyway?
693
00:30:27,575 --> 00:30:30,161
Physical chemistry.
694
00:30:30,245 --> 00:30:32,038
-Hm.
-Believe it or not,
695
00:30:32,121 --> 00:30:34,415
I used to help design
missiles for the government.
696
00:30:35,875 --> 00:30:37,418
But one day,
I realized
697
00:30:37,502 --> 00:30:40,088
I'd rather build things
than blow 'em up.
698
00:30:40,171 --> 00:30:42,131
That was
the end of that.
699
00:30:42,215 --> 00:30:43,299
Heavy, man.
700
00:30:43,383 --> 00:30:45,677
Earvin, that's what
I wanna do with the Lakers.
701
00:30:46,928 --> 00:30:49,389
I wanna build
something special.
702
00:30:49,472 --> 00:30:50,765
Hm.
703
00:30:50,848 --> 00:30:52,600
But I need a partner.
704
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:56,729
That mean we got a deal?
705
00:30:56,813 --> 00:30:58,398
W-- I take you out
for a nice burger,
706
00:30:58,481 --> 00:31:00,233
you just wanna hit me
again with that? (laughs)
707
00:31:00,316 --> 00:31:02,277
600 is a lot, let me tell you.
708
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,613
You know what the Celtics
just paid Larry Bird?
709
00:31:06,281 --> 00:31:07,407
(laughs)
710
00:31:07,490 --> 00:31:10,159
-Yeah, I see you smiling.
-(laughing)
711
00:31:10,243 --> 00:31:13,621
I mean, I don't see the
difference between me and him.
712
00:31:13,705 --> 00:31:15,665
You know, except...
713
00:31:15,748 --> 00:31:19,752
-I kind of did whoop his ass
for the national championship.
-Yeah, you did.
714
00:31:19,836 --> 00:31:22,213
-(laughs)
-Come on.
715
00:31:22,297 --> 00:31:24,382
I'm gonna take you
one more place.
716
00:31:24,465 --> 00:31:25,842
You wanna drive?
717
00:31:26,634 --> 00:31:28,261
-Yeah!
-Cool.
718
00:31:28,344 --> 00:31:31,472

719
00:31:32,390 --> 00:31:33,641
Is that Diana Ross?
720
00:31:33,725 --> 00:31:35,476
Jerry Buss: Yes, it is.
721
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,938
-(laughs)
-And next to her
is Miss December.
722
00:31:39,022 --> 00:31:40,982
I just paid for her
sophomore year of college.
723
00:31:41,065 --> 00:31:42,442
Great gal.
You wanna meet her?
724
00:31:42,525 --> 00:31:45,570
-(women laughing)
-(Magic laughs nervously)
725
00:31:45,653 --> 00:31:48,114
These ain't
round-the-way-girls, like...
726
00:31:48,197 --> 00:31:50,950
Now, the ladies love Magic,
727
00:31:51,034 --> 00:31:55,163
but those are stars.
728
00:31:55,246 --> 00:31:57,915
Let me let you in on
a little secret, Earvin.
729
00:31:58,708 --> 00:32:00,835
So are you.

00:32:03,004 --> 00:32:06,257

732
00:32:06,341 --> 00:32:09,177
Ooh! This is my
favorite part. (laughs)

Poke it.

00:33:15,618 --> 00:33:17,912
With your finger.
758
00:33:17,995 --> 00:33:20,289
Does that feel

759
00:33:22,792 --> 00:33:24,252
Uh...
760
00:33:24,335 --> 00:33:26,421
I'm not much of a cook,
761

I'm gonna take this

fell through with...

Mr. Playboy Bunny-fucker.
786

Jerry Buss:
Look at this.
Says the Lakers
787
00:34:47,919 --> 00:34:50,588
are drafting Sidney Moncrief,
shooting guard.
788
00:34:50,671 --> 00:34:53,424
Says the source comes from
somebody in the front office.
789
00:34:54,759 --> 00:34:56,719
What, and you think I told him?
790
00:34:58,262 --> 00:34:59,180
Oh, fuck that.
791
00:34:59,263 --> 00:35:01,974
Fuck you, too. Fuck no.
792
00:35:02,058 --> 00:35:03,184
Doesn't matter
where they got it.
793
00:35:03,267 --> 00:35:04,685
-Does fucking matter.
-No, it doesn't matter
794
00:35:04,769 --> 00:35:07,355
because what matters is this.
It's not the truth.
795
00:35:07,438 --> 00:35:08,898
Alright? We're picking Johnson.
796
00:35:08,981 --> 00:35:10,817
(stammers, sighs)
797
00:35:10,900 --> 00:35:13,069
-That's a big mistake. It is.
-Well...
798
00:35:14,237 --> 00:35:16,197
Alright, it's a mistake.
799
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:17,907
But, we're doing it,
alright? Look,
800
00:35:17,990 --> 00:35:20,493
-Moncrief is a fine player. He--
-Great. Player.
801
00:35:20,576 --> 00:35:22,036
Moncrief is a great player.
802
00:35:22,119 --> 00:35:23,496
And you know what, Jerry?
Fuck this.
803
00:35:23,579 --> 00:35:26,916
He's also a better scorer
by five fuckin' points a game.
804
00:35:26,999 --> 00:35:29,877
Which is exactly what this
fuckin' team needs to win!
805
00:35:29,961 --> 00:35:32,129
Yeah. And Johnson's a star.
806
00:35:32,213 --> 00:35:35,049
So was I! A fuckin' star!
807
00:35:35,132 --> 00:35:37,343

pass it out my fucking
asshole if you wanted.

Cooke sent me out there
to be his star, too.
821
00:36:07,373 --> 00:36:09,000
Got me to sell his tickets.
822
00:36:09,083 --> 00:36:12,837
And every year we lost,
he still cashed his checks.
823
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:14,922
But I'm the one that's
gotta live with it.

-I'm begging you.
1034
00:45:13,043 --> 00:45:14,628
I'm begging you.
1035
00:45:17,089 --> 00:45:20,134
Listen, do you know that Jeanie
is already working there?
1036
00:45:20,217 --> 00:45:22,803
-No, no, no, no, don't
you bring her into this!
-Well, she's in it!
1037
00:45:22,886 --> 00:45:24,972
I can't help it.
She's in it.
She works there now,
1038
00:45:25,055 --> 00:45:27,141
and she's got
her little heart set on it.
1039
00:45:27,224 --> 00:45:29,435

1040
00:45:33,647 --> 00:45:36,275
Well, good! I'm her dad.
1041
00:45:36,358 --> 00:45:38,277

-Thank you.
1044
00:45:44,366 --> 00:45:47,619
Thank you, Jo. You are not
gonna regret this, I promise.
1045
00:45:47,703 --> 00:45:50,372
JoAnn: (laughing)
Yeah, okay--
1046
00:45:53,709 --> 00:45:55,752

1047
00:45:55,836 --> 00:45:59,882

the impossible dream... ♪
1048

the last $2 million, Frank.
1049

We got it!
1050
00:46:06,430 --> 00:46:08,515
-We got it? Oh my god--
-We got all of it!
1051
00:46:08,599 --> 00:46:10,350
-Mwah!
-Don't you kiss me.
1052
00:46:10,434 --> 00:46:12,311
-Don't you kiss me.
-Thank God for ex-wives, huh?
1053
00:46:12,394 --> 00:46:14,897
I feel like one right now.
I love you! Magic.
1054
00:46:14,980 --> 00:46:16,982
Hey, Dad.
Uh, do you have a minute?
1055
00:46:17,065 --> 00:46:19,026
-(door closes)
-What happened?
1056
00:46:19,109 --> 00:46:20,569
It's Cooke.
1057
00:46:20,652 --> 00:46:22,196
He's going to ask
for all of it in cash.
1058
00:46:22,279 --> 00:46:24,781
The whole amount because
he knows you'll come up short.
1059
00:46:24,865 --> 00:46:26,575
Rothman:
It's not business.
It's personal.
1060
00:46:26,658 --> 00:46:28,994
He wants to fuck you
like you're Miss July.
1061
00:46:31,371 --> 00:46:33,916
Why are you telling
me this, Claire?
1062
00:46:33,999 --> 00:46:36,460
Uh, (scoffs)
I just wanna do my job.
1063
00:46:37,544 --> 00:46:39,338
You work for Cooke.
1064
00:46:39,421 --> 00:46:41,215
I think I'd rather work for you.
1065
00:46:42,758 --> 00:46:44,927
(on television):
This sure is
a creepy shortcut!
1066
00:46:45,010 --> 00:46:46,887
Are you sure we're
going the right way?
1067
00:46:48,180 --> 00:46:51,183
We did not come out
here to California
1068
00:46:51,266 --> 00:46:53,519
to sit in some dark-ass room
1069
00:46:53,602 --> 00:46:56,563
and miss all this
beautiful sunshine.
1070
00:46:56,647 --> 00:46:58,941
-You've been in here all day.
-(TV continues)
1071
00:46:59,024 --> 00:47:00,150
I don't know, Pop.
1072
00:47:01,443 --> 00:47:03,570
-(Johnson sighs)
-What you don't know?
1073
00:47:04,196 --> 00:47:05,697
I come in here,
1074
00:47:05,781 --> 00:47:09,451
everybody gassin' me up,
saying I'ma be
the next big thing.
1075
00:47:11,119 --> 00:47:13,872
But, what if I go out there
with all this height,
1076
00:47:14,623 --> 00:47:16,917
and fall flat on my ass?
1077
00:47:17,793 --> 00:47:19,711
Then what?
1078
00:47:19,795 --> 00:47:22,548
I'll go back to Lansing?
1079
00:47:22,631 --> 00:47:24,091
Well, I can think
of worse things.
1080
00:47:24,174 --> 00:47:27,010
At least you got people
there who love you.
1081
00:47:27,094 --> 00:47:30,472
I just don't wanna be
Lansing's tallest garbage man.
1082
00:47:34,726 --> 00:47:36,770
Pop, I'm...
1083
00:47:36,853 --> 00:47:38,438

1086
00:47:45,821 --> 00:47:47,906
we'd stay up some nights,
1087
00:47:47,990 --> 00:47:50,200
holding each other in
that Lansing in cold,
1088
00:47:50,284 --> 00:47:52,786
just dreaming about your future.
1089
00:47:53,954 --> 00:47:55,038
One night,
1090
00:47:55,122 --> 00:47:57,082
it'd be Dr. Johnson.
1091
00:47:57,958 --> 00:48:00,127
Next night,
1092
00:48:00,210 --> 00:48:02,462
maybe a judge.
1093
00:48:02,546 --> 00:48:04,881
Never in a million years
did I believe,
1094
00:48:04,965 --> 00:48:09,011
or even think, pro ball.
1095
00:48:09,094 --> 00:48:11,221
If you're not ready
for this league yet,
1096
00:48:11,305 --> 00:48:13,515
go on back to school, son.
1097
00:48:13,599 --> 00:48:16,977
If you're not ready ever,
I don't care. I love you.
1098
00:48:17,060 --> 00:48:18,270
You hear me?
1099
00:48:19,313 --> 00:48:21,607
My bottom line
won't change, son.
1100
00:48:21,690 --> 00:48:23,567
Never will.
1101
00:48:29,948 --> 00:48:33,869
(funky music playing)
1102
00:48:33,952 --> 00:48:37,247
The humble home
of Jack Kent Cooke!
1103
00:48:37,331 --> 00:48:39,333
Lives in California, but he
has to make it seem like
1104
00:48:39,416 --> 00:48:41,376
he's the goddamn
Queen of England.
1105
00:48:41,460 --> 00:48:43,378
I know what he's planning,
and if you think that gave me
1106
00:48:43,462 --> 00:48:46,757
enough time to hustle up
the extra cash, you're wrong.
1107
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:48,675
I'm dead in the water.
1108
00:48:48,759 --> 00:48:50,969
But, you know why I love swans?
1109
00:48:52,846 --> 00:48:55,599
The most graceful
bird on Earth,
1110
00:48:55,682 --> 00:48:57,517
but underneath the water,
1111
00:48:57,601 --> 00:49:00,020
they're paddlin' up
a fuckin' storm.
1112
00:49:00,103 --> 00:49:03,148
(splashing)
1113
00:49:06,777 --> 00:49:08,320
Well...
1114
00:49:08,403 --> 00:49:10,322
these are the deeds...
1115
00:49:10,405 --> 00:49:13,116
of the properties
as agreed.
1116
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:15,869
Assessed value of 33.75 million.
1117
00:49:15,952 --> 00:49:18,288
You already have
my 18 down, and, uh...
1118
00:49:19,956 --> 00:49:22,084
this check should
cover the rest.
1119
00:49:32,761 --> 00:49:35,389
You know I have the right
to demand all of it in cash
1120
00:49:35,472 --> 00:49:37,057
instead?
1121
00:49:37,140 --> 00:49:39,309
(laughs)
1122
00:49:39,393 --> 00:49:41,269
Well, Jack,
then I'd be up shit creek.
1123
00:49:43,605 --> 00:49:45,232
And so would you.
1124
00:49:46,942 --> 00:49:48,860
Watch me paddle,
motherfuckers.
1125
00:49:50,445 --> 00:49:53,281
So you can kill this deal,
and you can fleece me
1126
00:49:53,365 --> 00:49:55,367
for my whole down payment,
1127
00:49:55,450 --> 00:49:57,411
but you're still going to owe
1128
00:49:57,494 --> 00:50:00,706
your ex-wife a whole
lot of money.
1129
00:50:00,789 --> 00:50:02,791
And then, you're gonna
have to find another buyer
1130
00:50:02,874 --> 00:50:05,335
for a franchise in a league
1131
00:50:05,419 --> 00:50:07,379
that most sane people
think is sinking
1132
00:50:07,462 --> 00:50:09,589
like a hard turd in a toilet.
1133
00:50:11,842 --> 00:50:14,094
I mean, that's the facts, Jack.
1134
00:50:15,721 --> 00:50:18,098
So, if we're playing poker,
1135
00:50:18,181 --> 00:50:20,642
no. I don't have the cards.
1136
00:50:22,269 --> 00:50:24,604
But Jack, I think
we're playing chicken.
1137
00:50:26,148 --> 00:50:29,484
And I like those odds
a whole lot better.
1138
00:50:34,823 --> 00:50:36,032
(clicks tongue)
1139
00:50:39,119 --> 00:50:42,247
We will accept
the properties in trade.
1140
00:50:42,330 --> 00:50:44,166
(clears throat)
That was always my plan,
1141
00:50:44,249 --> 00:50:45,959
to take the properties
in trade.
1142
00:50:46,042 --> 00:50:47,878

Earvin, are you sure
there's nothing I can do
1151
00:51:21,161 --> 00:51:22,662
to change your mind?
1152
00:51:24,581 --> 00:51:27,834
I-I'm sorry, Dr. Buss.
It's just, um...
1153
00:51:29,419 --> 00:51:32,672
Just timing, I guess.
Um...
1154
